[Skydrive] Allow entire folder (with subfolders) upload

Wrote on September 26, 2009, 3:51am

@eye Yeah, I would totally welcome an application for SkyDrive, though I would welcome the ability to mount it as a virtual drive even more :-)

Windows Live Messenger "My Received Files" folder always stores in C:\Users... even if your user directory is on another drive

To me, it would be nicer if it went into the Downloads directory, but this'll do too.

Windows Live Installer insists on updating already installed programs.

I will +1 this, but I just think the reason they do this is because you should ALWAYS update your programs because a lot of times they will include security fixes and what not...

Messenger: paste large portions of text as txt file

Wrote on August 29, 2009, 8:25am

@Ensign Joe Yeah, it should, because other IM apps (Such as Pidgin) don't have any limit on size, and the Messenger service will still send it to those who are using WLM without cutting excess text that would otherwise be cut off by the program itself.

[skydrive/photos] Multiple File Selection uploader or Silverlight/Flash/Java uploader

I use IE, so I have no issues, but SkyDrive could get a boost if they had more cross-browser support :)

[Skydrive] Allow entire folder (with subfolders) upload

Wrote on August 29, 2009, 8:20am

This is of course a great idea (So +1) but the thing is, its not really possible with browsers. When you select a file to upload, the browser sends the file itself and all its contents to the site/server, but it cannot do that with folders. The server itself would have to be able to scan the folder for all the files (and folders, then recursion would kick in ;]) but browsers do not do that, because it probably just plain wouldn't work, but also if it DID work, a server could almost request any file off your computer, and take it.

Windows Live SkyDrive within Windows Explorer?

As Lundtoft said, you can use something else to solve the problem, but SkyDrive shouldn't need anything extra to make it work, so +1.
