    Yes. You have to opt in for it by using a Microsoft Account, you then have to opt in for it to be either to read any file, or save them to the sync folders.

    If my memory serves me rightly (I use Windows7 habitually although there's Windows8 systems in the house) then your SkyDrive comes up as yet another drive/folder. So by default there won't be anything in your SkyDrive.

    If you decide that you want to "float" a doc (i.e. promote it to cloud storage) then all you need to do is to save/copy/move that file into your SkyDrive (or more usually a folder within the SkyDrive). It then becomes a cloud file and hence available to whatever other cloud-enabled systems you have access to. Simples!

    SkyDrive will not just unilaterally start stealing your files, as to do so would cause so many privacy issues (translation: expensive law suits in the US). Other systems - in my case Dropbox - function in a similar fashion.

    However, I've seen some reports that Windows8.1 will make the SkyDrive the default storage location for all applications. Which, if true, is a dumb idea - especially if there's no setting somewhere to override it. Then again, it'd be in line with the habit Redmond seems to have at the moment of making bone-headed decisions.

    EDIT: not sure if it's useful, but there's a small article available on WikiHow
