I cast another vouch for gladinet here. It’s pretty simple and gets timely updates.

Bacco, thanks for the heads up. I don’t know if it was the offending program so hopefully it wasnt this because I do like that it works and hope it is not the reason why.

Rob, I installed it as well and haven’t had any issues with spam at all. I actually did something similar to what you did…I used a dormant email account and after 2 days not a single email was sent or rec’d in the account.

I will post if there is strange activity.

I actually installed this and it can be a coincidence but I think it may actually be an ingenious phising scam. It is ALL over on popular news sites to download it but shortly after I did (and used my junk hotmail, not my live mail) I logged into my hotmail, and saw a ton of nondeliverables and emails from friends saying they got spam from me (and it was my hotmail which i never use to send email anymore) and it was sent shortly after I installed this program. Its ingenious because the program DOES work, but I do think it is sending your hotmail login info to the creator. Until someone tells me otherwise, be VERY careful of this.

Jan Van Mourik, thanks very much. I think I’ll give it a try too now :)

@Bacco,@jan van mourik: Softpedia(http://www.softpedia.com/progClean/SkyDrive-Explorer-Clean-142743.html) assures that there are no trojans etc for this tool… Sounds reliable to me. Will give it a try tonight..

@Bacco: that’s exactly what’s been holding me back. Utilities like these would make for perfect trojan horses! But we’re probably just too careful…

Am I the only one concerned about using my hotmail login credentials? I appreciate that they Gladinet indicate the credentials are maintained on my computer and not shared with them, but I’m still concerned.

Gladinet is another tool that can map SkyDrive as a network drive, in addition to map Google Docs, Google Picasa, Box.net and others.

It may be possible to use Gladinet for the cloud tunes since it has a drive letter so it will show up in media player.

Nope. But that is a nice new shirt you’re wearing today. :)

How strange. I was just looking into this on the weekend hoping that I could use it to backup my WHS to SkyDrive. Unfortunately I gave up on it (mostly due to a lack of patience) but it is a strange coincidence.

You’re not spying on my are you Kevin?
