Angry No Skydrive Sync for Office Documents

Having no access to a Sharepoint Server, I would have thought that I could at least sync my documents with Skydrive - no dice. The only thing that you can sync with Skydrive is OneNote - just "List All" OneNote documents, and click Refresh. That's a pretty slick solution for my notes, but what gives with the glaring omission for sync'ing Excel/Word/Powerpoint documents?

After running a few searches, the only provision for loading these documents onto your phone is to:

1) Email it as an attachment
2) Access Skydrive via the web browser, and download it

At least when I had a removable SD card, it was easy enough for me to load, and backup documents. This is a pretty glaring omission MS, especially when WP7 was aimed squarely at the average Consumer demographic - how many average users has their documents on a Sharepoint Server?

On a side-rant, I can't copy/paste a cell in Excel. Really?....
