    I use Skydrive Explorer. You can add files using windows explorer interface. Drag 'n Drop. Much easier.
    In my efforts to locate a complete download for SkyDrive Explorer (the link you gave is for a download manager that downloads and installs the program), I found that SkyDrive Explorer is now known as SDExplorer, available here. I'm checking it out now to see if it works.
    Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware they had changed. It's been a while since I installed it.

    +1 Rep, Guntmeister. SDExplorer is a great find. I've submitted it to Brink for addition to the Free Software section of SevenForums, and I've credited you with the find.

    Now, if only we can get Microsoft to add SkyDrive support to SyncToy...

    Thanks. Just installed the new version. Still seems to work great.

    Ok thanks I downloaded the SDExplorer and I was trying to copy my pictures to the skydrive as a backup but when I selected them all and went to copy them it said it would take 12 hours. I guess there is not any way to speed this up? Does anyone else use this as a backup also? Thanks

    Hello lsufrontier.




    How big are the files and what type of IP connection do you have?

    Open Internet Explorer, then click on "Tools"->"Manage Add-ons". Has the "Windows Live Upload Tool" perhaps not been disabled?


    Peter I noticed in your screenshot that you are showing an out of date Flash player.

    If you put everything into a .zip folder, uploads are no problem. But the .zip folder must not be larger than 50MB - that is the maximum that Skydrive allows per upload. You have, however, a total capacity of 25GBs. Just have to chop it into pieces.

    Hello again lsufrontier.


    You right click the files you want to add to the zip folder and select "Compressed (zipped) folder".

Sorry I am a computer novice; but, I am running out of hard drive C space and I thought maybe I could put Recovery Drive D on a flash drive in order to free up drive C space. If this is possible, can you refer me to some instructions on how to do this? Thanks in advance for your help.
