    I question the statement that this is cross platform. According to the web page, it only works in Windows, granted it work on different versions. That's hardly cross platform.

    Freeware? Not free. It's a 5 days trial. It seems to work fine, but $20 bucks...

    SkyDrive Explorer gives you access to your Windows Live SkyDrive within Windows Explorer, and it's easy to use. Just install it, double click on the icon created in Windows Explorer, sign in with your Windows Live ID, and start dragging and dropping. It isn't pretty, but it gets the job done.

    There are two drawbacks: you cannot copy files to root (but this is a limitation of Windows Live SkyDrive, so no big loss there) and you cannot copy a folder over, only single files (the workaround is tedious but simple: Right Click --> New --> Folder --> Give it a name --> Copy over the files). Uploading and deleting more than one file works flawlessly. In short, with this plugin you can use SkyDrive without ever logging onto the Web version at skydrive.live.com.
