It seems that only specific file types are allowed. I can upload just MS office documents. I was unsuccessfull with JPG file. The server response on PUT is 415 Unsupported media type. Also I tried it with WebDAV client we develop, but the server badly forms the body of OPTIONS command. There is a char sequence "--" in XML comment, which is rejected by our XML parser, so our logon sequence doesn't pass. It works for me in MS WebDAV miniredirector but it is very slow.

However, recently something has changed and I seem to only have read-only access to my mapped skydrive via WebDAV. I am using XP SP3. Are there any workarounds?

Only Office-types files work , txt, doc, ppt, docx, pdf. Nice of Microsoft to a) provide any advance warning, b) give a meaningful error message Not sure if list is a live update or because I have just upgraded to Office 10, but I now get “too large” error for any file type I have tried, png, bat, htm, jpg.

Same for me. I guess this is part of the update that was recently rolled out (release of http://office.live.com). I also guess this is to block users from using the 25 GB for generic file backup. I don't know the details, but it seems that Live Mesh sync now somehow is integrated with SkyDrive but only for 2 GB of data. However, I could upload a 1 MB zip-file using the Silverlight plugin they now have in the web interface. Will have to investigate further to see what is actually going on. To me, SugarSync is looking better and better for file backup. But will of course cost you for data above 2 GB and does not support WebDAV. Then again, SkyDrive does not even have a payment option (yet). @Danny Oh, my. Same for me. I guess this is part of the update that was recently rolled out (release of http://office.live.com).

It seems to be based on file type. One file that failed was a 16k zip file. If I renamed it to a txt file it worked. Are there file type restrictions on skydrive?

This is with files in the 30k range, no where near the 50mb limit. Is there a limitation with this?
