OneDrive – Editing Skydrive Synced Storage on Web

onedrivewindows

I have installed Windows Live Mesh from Windows Live Essentials. I've synced a folder "Test" containing couple of word documents with Skydrive. I opened skydrive.live.com and logged in. On the left pane, I clicked 'Files' and selected 'View synced folders' and I found the folder "Test" I synced from my PC. Now, how to edit the documents in Web? If the question is unclear, please let me know. I'll attach screenshots to further explain the problem.

The SkyDrive Synced Storage (5 GB) associated with Live Mesh does not integrate into the other SkyDrive located at skydrive.live.com (25 GB). regarding the storage,SkyDrive Synced Storage (5 GB) is included in the skydrive.live.com (25 GB).

The only point of "integration" is a link to View Synced Folders within the SkyDrive that will show any folders synced to SkyDrive Synced Storage within the Live Mesh program. The two really are separate services even though they share the SkyDrive name. Quite unfortunate and confusing.

Files in SkyDrive can be edited using Office Web Apps, while files in SkyDrive Sync Storage from Live Mesh cannot (for no reason other than they aren't in the SkyDrive itself).
