| Hi everyone.
) g$ p0 R1 X- t @ V2 N
. N8 i8 P+ ^, cI write this post to
disscuss about some method of mapping network drive, in this case is
Skydrive, I used this service because it provides 25 GB of storage and more over, we can connect it direct to our PC or Laptop without any other 3rd party softwares. In general, we have 3 ways (I found them from IT blogs, really easy with Google):# p h- t# X$ N& K1 V8 B- b
1. Use Windows explorer:
" j! e& V8 P0 zPros:
/ s3 x4 s6 E% b/ J) e- Don't need any setup or softwares+ B1 @7 w/ x5 J( W% ]
- Easy to use and easy to do. Q: P; i4 m7 Y* b' `+ e8 |
Cons:
: H( ~5 Y6 c2 W) y7 Z4 W- Still slow (depend on your network speed)
! @3 l$ U6 ?: k- Doesn't work for some situation; O* q% j' {1 c7 ~* m
Here we go:* t" N* b; d9 R% `5 K; i
1.1- First, we need an account of www.skydrive.live.com (we can also use @hotmail and @live address as an account)
) ?: f- D3 [ P! b1 _4 E9 v Login skydrive with your existed account and see this stuff in address bar:
% B( e$ E' \+ n " }" G4 r) H6 }/ a5 \
, v4 u/ J* `% A- T+ Whttp://cid-XXXXXXXXX.skydrive.live.com/summary.aspx?sa=........' d; m9 }/ f6 k3 B: u/ X
( C, [0 X; ]* h: LNow, remember "XXXXXXXX" it's your IP in SKYDRIVE.
7 w0 G" B# {+ }' N/ X
8 ]: B. p# A0 O j' ~; `# a1.2- Remember folder that you want to map (subfolder maybe not work, it's better to choose primary folders)./ p2 k( S/ h' Q/ Z/ Y; m+ H' i, m+ W
Ex:Public is defauft primary folder, we can use this one for testing first
- O) K1 z1 g5 q5 d) U7 _( v) y1 j! B9 `6 u g: K" V
1.3- Right click on my computer, and we can see "Map network drive.." (I do uses win7 but I think it will be the same in XP)
+ I8 K( g. S2 R, o g 3 ^+ H* ?4 l j
