Cloud storing is the latest trend in storing files online. That's because your files will be stored in the closest server possible, thus resulting in a better download and upload speed. There are numerous services that offer cloud storage, most of them offering free limited storage. Microsoft itself launched such a service, that provides users 25 GB of online space for storing files and folders. Unfortunately, the interface that allows this is web-based and it's difficult to master by most users. It also lacks a lot of features that would make file transferring simpler and more convenient. Still, there is a solution to all this and that's the software SDExplorer, formerly known as SkyDrive Explorer. The program allows the user to use his SkyDrive account as a regular partition or folder and use similar file transfer operations.

The program installs in a flash and can run on every version of Microsoft Windows, without requiring out of the ordinary system requirements.

When running the program for the first time, the user is asked to enter the username and password of his Windows Live account that he uses to access the regular SkyDrive interface. After entering this information, an explorer-like window will open, displaying all the user's files and folders stored on SkyDrive and allowing him to manipulate and transfer files in the same way as using Windows Explorer. You'll need to log on again after you reboot the computer.

After logging in into his SkyDrive account, the user is able to cut and paste, as well as drag and drop files to and from SkyDrive as well as delete them from SkyDrive storage. In My Computer, the program will add a virtual partition named SDExplorer. Virtually, any application can see it as a drive and can access it accordingly.

Pros

It allows accessing your SkyDrive account in the simplest way possible and it also allows viewing and transferring files in the same manner as using Windows Explorer. Besides that, the virtual partition created by the program will be recognized as a regular partition by most applications.

Cons

It lacks some options, like displaying the remaining storage space. SDExplorer is a great utility for accessing your Microsoft SkyDrive account and manipulating files in the easiest way possible.
