"It's over Johnny. It's over!" (Col. Samuel Trautman to Rambo, John J), I could cry.

Microsoft introduced a preview version of APIs for Windows Live stuff at the build conference not so long ago.

See details here:

or on Microsoft's website.

New Post: How to sign-in?

JavaScript client would be a nice idea but I am not sure if there will be a lot of users / big community for it?

Using Office Live (aka SkyDrive) for a while and the browser fronted works fine but still missing a good mobile frontend (Windows Mobile + Windows Phone). M$ stopped Mesh Mobile development some time ago. I am not sure why ...

Cheers,
Harald-René Flasch (aka hfrmobile)

Hey All,

I tried to use the SkyDrive Viewer but it does not work for me. See my issue in the issue tracker: http://skydriveviewer.codeplex.com/workitem/12872

So did you manage to make this run nowadays? I have a feeling that the project is deprecated? Those dlls supplied with the project are from 2007!

Please give me some heads up!

Thanks,

Csaba

ps: I want to write a JavaScript SkyDrive client, you are welcome to help with any insights.

New Post: WebDAV

There is neither a policy- nor a technical limitation preventing microsoft from offering

FTP access to SkyDrive

FTP predates both webdav and the interweb

OK, there is no technical reason adding WebDAV support for SkyDrive ;-) Btw, GMX offers 5 GB now for free and already supporting WebDAV.

Since 5 GB are enough for me for online storage I think the plan of free/commercial product is a good idea.

M$ can't add webdav support to skydrive unless they:

a) shrink the storage to somewhere under 9GB

b) make skydrive a paid service

or they do what ADrive did

make two types of plans, a free one without webdav support and a paid one with webdav support.

Why of this, simple, M$ have established a rule that forbids offering FOR FREE, MORE THAN 9GB of storage, WITH WEBDAV SUPPORT.

Obviuosly M$ doesn't want to break their own rules.

Since I am new to SkyDrive (I am from Austria and SkyDrive (formerley known as "Live folders"?) is available in Europe since yesterday?) sorry for this question.

Is there WebDAV support for SkyDrive or is there a plan to implement WebDAV for SkyDrive Viewer?

Info: In Germany there exists a service called GMX (Global Message Exchange) which supports WebDAV for their GMX MediaCenter since years. They also offer 1 GB space (since years). But it will nice to have the same for my Live-Account / SkyDrive ;-)

A MSI-Package for this nice app will be good ;-)

Some suggestions

Window resizeable
Make the "Sign Out" button and "Refresh" button smaller (to a common size)
F5 Shortcut for refresh
Make the tree view more "Windows like" (icons)
About box showing author name, version number of the application etc.
