Imagine that you have a lot of important files and folders stored on your computer and you would like to back up all of them online, so that when disaster strikes and your hard disk malfunctions or a hacker takes over your computer, you will have your personal data saved in a safe place. Today's most popular way of backing up data is to upload it to a cloud drive, which offers the best download and upload speed, no matter your location. Microsoft has a proprietary service for this, which is called SkyDrive. This service is free to use and allows users to upload up to 25GB of data to a secure web storage drive.

The problem is that the interface for uploading and downloading files is web-based and it's not so convenient to use, especially if you are dealing with a large number of files and folders. In this case, you could use the SDExplorer Advanced application, which allows you to upload and download files in the same manner as copying or moving local files using Windows Explorer.

The installation procedure of SDExplorer Advanced can be completed fast, using just a couple of clicks. After installing the program, the user will see two icons on his desktop. The first one is the SDExplorer Advanced application itself, which opens an interface which perfectly resembles Windows Explorer. After entering the SkyDrive username and password, the user will be able to see all his personal files and folders which are stored online and he will be able to upload and download them using drag and drop.

The second icon of the program displays all the background uploads. Every file which is uploaded to the SkyDrive using the context menu and selecting the SDExplorer option will be displayed in the interface as a background upload task.

Pros

It can work with your SkyDrive account, extending its possibilities and features and allowing you to upload and download files in a more convenient way. Besides that, files and folders can be uploaded using their context menu and selecting the dedicated option for this.

Cons

The program is useless if you don't already have a SkyDrive account. SDExplorer Advanced allows you to extend the functionality of your SkyDrive account, allowing you to upload and download files and folders in a much more convenient way.
