FW Editor: What are your plans or objectives in the near future?
Sergei Boyko, CEO of CloudStorageExplorer.com: Our objective is making SDExplorer more useful, and up-to-date. We will improve SDExplorer along with the improvements of SkyDrive service. And also we are planning to develop new interesting and powerful programs.
FW Editor: How and when did you start writing the code for SDExplorer Pro? What inspired you the most? Do you plan to develop new software, or are you more focused on optimizing the current ones?
Sergei Boyko, CEO of CloudStorageExplorer.com: I used SkyDrive service myself, and its web interface was not so convenient and easy, so I spent much time for simple operations like uploading, downloading, creating new folders. So I decided that I need a tool, making SkyDrive interface easier, and the possibility to use it right in Explorer without any unnecessary operations. A team of like-minded aimed at creating a convenient extension for Windows Explorer for work with SkyDrive service (SDExplorer) was gathered soon. I think, we managed to do it. And many people all over the world have the same opinion - SDExplorer makes using SkyDrive service more convenient.
Now SDExplorer functionality is stable. But it depends on changes and improvements of SkyDrive service. If such changes occur, some part or even all functions of SDExplorer can be broken at one time. In this case our team makes its best to release a new version in a shortest period.
What concerns the new software, we have already written the technical documentation and will start developing the new program in the nearest future. But I would like to leave the details in secret. I can say just that the users will be kindly surprised.

In addition to Base version's functionality it can Open files directly from SkyDrive, Move files and folders within SkyDrive, Change folder share mode, Change folder content type, indicate folder share mode, work with files greater than 50 MB. And new useful functions will be added to PRO version in the nearest future.
