A lot of people overlook Microsoft's SkyDrive for free, web-based file storage and sharing. Still, it's tough to argue with 25gb of free space for your digital goodies that you can access from anywhere. SkyDrive Explorer is a free shell enhancement for Windows that makes it even better. Once you install SkyDrive Explorer, you'll see a new icon in My Computer (under "Other"). Double click it to open your drive, and a Live login window will appear. Sign in and you've got full-on access to SkyDrive right from Windows Explorer. Add files and folders, move things around, delete old junk - all as if they were stored on your local hard drive. I'd like to see the app allow access to SkyDrive from open and save dialogs, but it's a great addition to Windows even without that functionality.
SkyDrive Explorer currently offers the following functionality:
•View the structure and contents of folders in SkyDrive.
•View files information (type, size, creation date in GMT format).
•Create new root folders and subfolders.
•Copy files into the storage.
•Delete files and folders.
•Copy files from the storage to the computer.
•Copy folders and subfolders from the storage to the computer keeping their structure.
•Use Drag & Drop for files operations.
•Rename files and folders.
•Create links to SkyDrive folders on your computer
SkyDrive Explorer runs on both 32 and 64-bit Windows.
