Windows Live Skydrive needs better files uploader
Undeniably, Skydrive is great application from Microsoft. The huge 25GB free online storage is really tempting for those who want to keep and sharing items online. But
it is lacking very critical feature that should provide greater usability; better files uploader.
The way files are being uploaded should be improved. Just take a look at the screen shot. It is quite troublesome when at any time you can only upload 5 files, whereas hundreds more in wait.
Instead of using very ‘traditional’ way of uploading files, why not invent something like Facebook’s java style uploader or Flickr’s desktop uploader which can upload lots of files simulateneouly.
For regular users, they’ll be more than happy if such tool available in the near future. It saves them time and effort!
Skydrive is a free application with a great feature, but without great usability, it could only attract first timer for a while before rival (such as GDrive) take them away.
Don’t know really , I like SkyDrive.
try gladinet. it can mount SkyDrive as a virtual folder in windows explorer.
@zach, gladinet is wonderful. Just try it. Will blog it soon. Thanks!
I agree, Skydrive is a great program that is completely limited by its lack of user functionality. If Windows made slight modifications to the software, along the lines of Flickr and sites of that nature, it would be a lot more user-friendly, and gain more widespread attention than it does today.
