SDExplorer Base for Windows

User Reviews

• Base is not worth it; Pro is excellent.

  standuncanJanuary 7, 2012

  Pros

  Actually, though your email said I should review Explorer Base, I have Explorer pro. I love pro, but base does so little I had it for over a year and never used it. I would recommend Gladinet instead. Explorer Pro, on the other hand is a fine program that I've grown so fond of that I can't work with out it. I have several computers and this allows me to store all of my files in the cloud and work from anywhere (as does Gladinet, but Gladinet is more unstable).

  Cons

  The cons of Base are many. You really can't do much with it and it just causes frustration. The cons of Pro are that every now and then it will freeze on one of my computers and have to be re-installed again. But that has happened very infrequently. Also, I've written a couple of emails to their tech support (about how to install on different computers) and they've never been answered. But that may just be me. Perhaps it's my breath?

  Summary

  Base is not worth it; Pro is excellent. And for all the work it helps you with, twelve bucks is not a bad deal.

• It does what it is supposed to do.

  Pros

  It is free and provides easy access to all my SkyDrive folders.

  Cons

  Cannot be drive mapped.

  Summary

  During setup the user enters his/her Live.com login id and password. After the installation you will see the "SDExplorer" icon in "My Computer" together with a shortcut on the desktop and an entry in the Start menu. Opening SDExplorer provides easy access to all your SkyDrive folders.

• Fine for what it does, but it doesn't do much.

  standuncanJuly 23, 2011

  Pros

  You can copy and paste and delete files from Sky Drive

  Cons

  You can't open files or move them (eighty percent of what I do with files). Not as versatile as going to the Sky Drive web page itself (which I do often by just clicking on a shortcut). .

  Summary

  It adds a few things, but so little that I can't really recommend it.

• Skydrive is useless without SDExplorer

  monkeymind400January 28, 2011

  Pros

  Free! Very handy to use Skydrive without opening your browser.

  Cons

  There's a few improvements that I'd like with the Basic - linking files.

  Summary

  I may upgrade and pay to be able to link files. I've just been in a hurry. But for free - its great!
