Gladinet Cloud Desktop works fine in Win 7. 
Hi,
Gladinet doesn't work on my Vista SP1 with Skydrive. It always tell me I don't give the good credentials (username/password) while I did (I checked several times)
Have you got the same issue?
I read somewhere that the last version of Skydrive broke the gladinet compatibility, is it the problem I got?
Thank you.
Valistar

I'm on Windows 7 RTM and am able to map my SkyDrive persistently via NET USE and a logon script applied via Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
- To get the right URL, you need to access Office Web Apps. Follow the instructions at http://www.mydigital...tion-instantly/
- Open a PowerPoint or Excel web app file in your local Office program on your computer. I'm on Office 2007 Enterprise so don't know if it works with Office 2003 (don't see why it wouldn't though).
- When you click on Save As in the local Office program, you should be able to get the URL that works for mapping SkyDrive as a network drive. My personal URL for my SkyDrive Documents folder is https://jsgqo3.docs....a502/.Documents so yours should be something similar. I haven' tried mapping to SkyDrive's root directory as Documents access is what I need for the time being.
- Use this URL for the native Map network drive function or for the NET USE command. Using the logon script and bat file was the only way I could get my SkyDrive mapped every time at log on. My SkyDrive was not reconnecting when I logged in if I used Windows 7's Map network drive "reconnect at login" check box.
- I have experienced a quirk where, if my SkyDrive is already mapped, I cannot download an Office Web App file to my local Office program because it won't take my credentials. However, I simply use SkyDrive as cloud storage for my local Office apps so it's not a showstopper. Not sure why this is though. Maybe some type of simultaneous access restriction Microsoft has in place?
Hope this helps.

I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3 and i can get Gladinet to work for mapping the Windows Live SkyDrive and the GMail Drive app works as well, but I'd rather not use Gladinet. I have tried your method, and all is well until step 3. When i go to "Save As..." in my local Microsoft Word, it does give an address, but the address is http://gangstanthony...ffice.live.com/ which is not at all similar to the address you have provided. Also, I have documents already in my SkyDrive, but it appears that this location is an entirely separate storage space and I cannot locate any of my SkyDrive files. I have also tried several addresses from the page that I use to access my SkyDrive, but nothing has worked, and none of the addresses I came across looked quite like yours... Any suggestions?

I'm using Gladinet. It creates a mapped drive in my PC and mount my Skydrive accounts. One good thing I can do is to mount all my Skydrive accounts there. And whenever I run out of space, I can apply a new account and mount it. (Hopefully MS doesn't mind 
). And Skydrive can mount my FTP server too.
What Gladinet is still missing is the ability to mount shared Skydrive folders from my friends. I requested the feature to them. Their support told me it is coming. Hope they can add the function asap. I have lots of pictures shared by my friends in Skydrive and it is really a pain to download them one by one.

Are you sure this won't cause PC vulnerable to intruders.
I think digging tunnel connection outside world connection your PC is simply not the good idea.

Why not use dropbox?
I've got the icon for 'SkyDrive' up but it doesn't do anything. It doesn't appear to even attempt to connect, and the program doesn't remember it created it now so I can't delete it!
Dropbox looks good though, I'm trying that now.
