Help with Sky Drive

I use Sky Drive Simpleviewer to connect to my Skydrive, lets you map it as a network drive, simply brilliant. This has the big advantage that it lets you assign a drive letter to Skydrive which SDexplorer doesn't.

Hello CGA1.



Thanks for the info.

Wow. Nice find. Does it work well?

Edit: Just tried it out. Doesn't show all my folders and can't find any options to add a drive to My Computer

When you run the program you should get a list of your Skydrive folders, each folder has a different webdav address. To map a folder to a driveletter, right click Computer and choose "map network drive". Now copy the webdav address in SDS and paste it in the "folder" field and choose a drive letter for it. You have to do this for each of your Skydrive folders so each folder gets a different drive letter. Works like a charm for me but I would imagine that if you have a lot of folders in Skydrive it's not an ideal solution.

Are those actually virtual drive letters that get picked from the available drive letters in your system? Reason I ask is that I have already 8 drive letters used in my system and on Skydrive I have about 40 files. One would run out of letters in such a scenario.

Yes it is. It's not one drive letter for each file though, it's one for each Skydrive folder. Basically it works just like when you connect to a network share on a lan or a Windows domain.
