How to organize your media files on Windows Live SkyDrive™ with Audials

Learn how to use Audials with Windows Live Skydrive™ to manage your data collection online

How it works

Windows Live SkyDrive™ provides an online storage space where you can upload your media collection making it thus available from anywhere in the world and from any computer connected to the internet.

In addition, Windows Live SkyDrive™ offers you the first 25GB of storage space for free and the flexibility to upload and share any type of information: whether it’s your music collection, your photos or video files, you have full control over the content you upload. Plus, you can access and manage it from several mobile devices as well (Windows Phone, iPhone and iPad are supported).

How you can improve it

Audials can make this convenience even better by offering you the possibility to connect to your cloud storage provider, organize and even play your online media library without having to actually open your browser. Additionally, Audials is able to search and get for you any audio or video file that you want and transfer it to the cloud. Good news is that it works the other way around as well. Have some tracks you want to copy from the cloud to your PC? Audials does that too!

Audials - your source for entertainment in the Cloud

That’s right! You can now organize your cloud media storage directly with Audials. Audials Windows Software offers you the possibility to easily access your online music and video collection: whether you only want to play your favorite tracks, transfer them to your PC or simply export some media files to a cloud storage, Audials can do that for you. Once you configure your cloud storage account, Audials will process your online file collection and make it available for you to use as if it was already on your computer.

Step-by-step guide on how to manage your audio and video file collection on Windows Live SkyDrive™
 
Create an account for Windows Live SkyDrive™ if you have not done so already.
Start Audials.
Click the "Configure export" button located above the Audials playlist on your right hand side.
Choose the "Cloud storage" option. A window containing a list with different cloud storage providers will pop up afterwards. Select Windows Live SkyDrive and click “Next”.
Enter your Windows Live SkyDrive™ user name and password in the two boxes and click "Next" again. Audials will subsequently process your file collection.
If you switch to the "Music" or "Movies and entertainment" view located in the "Media center" section you will be able to see the music and video content available both on your computer and on the cloud storage divided into four different quadrants. The files located on your PC are shown in white, the ones on your device are shown in blue and artists and albums available on both are shown in light blue.
To transfer the files just drag and drop them to the “Windows Live SkyDrive” or “My PC” quadrant. They will be copied and stored on the cloud platform or on your hard drive.
You can also play the files with Audials by double clicking them or just dragging and dropping them to the Audials playlist on your right.
