Comments on: Live SkyDrive — Multiple File Uploading

Last time I looked it was possible to install multiple browsers on your computer.
Microsoft gives you i) Free storage, ii) Free Browser & iii) a free tool that permits you to upload multiple files just by dragging them into the browser.

If the browser you prefer to use doesn’t support the multi-file upload that Microsoft provides. You could either:-
1. Complain to the Browser vendor that they should fix their browser.
2. Use IE whenever you want to upload multi-files.
3. Wait till MS ships IE10 & rewrites a HTML5 version of their file upload tool
4. Load them one at a time.
5. Write your own multi-file upload tool that works in your preferred browser.
6. Try to find a similar service to SkyDrive (free or paid for) & use it.
Hope this solves your problem.
NB: the Good thing about compressing (via RAR or ZIP) is it can split large files into < 50MB chunks. The bad, if have to download the whole zip even if you just want 1 of the multiple files you uploaded.

Does anybody know a program to download several files from a Skydrive folder? OK, I know there’s a button called “download as zip”, but it can’t resume downloads.

I tried some download managers such as Free Download Manager, Internet Download Manager and Orbit. No Skydrive support.

Am using Gladinet as well to upload & set up Windows Sky Drive. It is painfully slow, it was uploading 700MB for over 30min.. Not sure what causes it to be so slow, hoping as well that once all set up adding content would be easier.

[...] instance, uploading multiple files is a real pain. You can’t upload a directory. There’s a 50 MB maximum file size. I’m sure not many folks [...]

I’m using Gladinet to sync files, pics and folders to SkyDrive but it is slow going indeed. Hopefully once its all setup and synced then it will not take much time except when adding new content. I find it is easier to upload pictures this way than by using Live Photo Gallery which takes even more time.

As it has been said a couple of times above. Use the following link: http://www.gladinet.com/p/download.htm I find it useful to uploading folders and files greater than the google 1mb limit.
