在Windows资源管理器中挂载SkyDrive,S3,Google文档和其他云存储
Online file storage services such as SkyDrive and Amazon S3 are becoming increasingly popular, and many of us additionally save documents and other files online daily with webapps like Google Apps. Here’s how you can integrate these storage services with your Windows PC and access them just like your normal hard drive and flash drives.
在线文件存储服务(例如SkyDrive和Amazon S3)正变得越来越流行,我们中的许多人还每天通过Google Apps等网络应用程序在线保存文档和其他文件。 您可以通过以下方式将这些存储服务与Windows PC集成在一起,并像普通硬盘驱动器和闪存驱动器一样访问它们。
Cloud computing promises to make file organization simpler, since you can save your files online and access them from anywhere. However, often the web interfaces are slow and difficult to use, which makes it hard to keep all of your files online. Gladinet is a free tool for Windows that lets you access many different online storage services directly in Windows Explorer. It mounts these accounts as networked storage devices, and lets you save, move, and rename files just as you would on your standard hard drive. Here’s an overview of how you can use Gladinet with the services you use to keep all of your data organized the way that works best for you.
云计算可以简化文件的组织,因为您可以在线保存文件并从任何地方访问它们。 但是,Web界面通常速度较慢且难以使用,这使得很难将所有文件保持在线状态。 Gladinet是Windows的免费工具,可让您直接在Windows资源管理器中访问许多不同的在线存储服务。 它将这些帐户安装为网络存储设备,使您可以像在标准硬盘驱动器上一样保存,移动和重命名文件。 下面概述了如何将Gladinet与服务结合使用,以使所有数据保持最适合您的方式进行组织。

Mount SkyDrive in Windows Explorer
在Windows资源管理器中挂载SkyDrive
Microsoft offers 25Gb of free online storage with their Windows Live SkyDrive service, but unfortunately, they don’t offer a way to integrate this storage directly into Windows. Gladinet, however, lets us mount SkyDrive as a local network drive, so you can open your online files and folders directly from Explorer, or drag-and-drop new files directly into your SkyDrive.
微软通过Windows Live SkyDrive服务提供25Gb的免费在线存储,但是不幸的是,他们没有提供将这种存储直接集成到Windows中的方法。 但是,Gladinet允许我们将SkyDrive安装为本地网络驱动器,因此您可以直接从资源管理器打开在线文件和文件夹,也可以将新文件直接拖放到SkyDrive中。
If you chose SkyDrive in the initial setup box as above, you’ll be all set to start using your 25Gb of free online storage in Windows. Open Computer and select the new Z: drive. Double-click the SkyDrive link to get started.
如果您在上面的初始设置框中选择了SkyDrive,则将全部设置为开始使用Windows中的25Gb免费在线存储。 打开计算机,然后选择新的Z:驱动器。 双击SkyDrive链接开始使用。
Enter your Windows Live ID and password in the dialog, and click Next.
在对话框中输入Windows Live ID和密码,然后单击“ 下一步” 。
Click Finish to get your SkyDrive account linked to your computer.
单击完成以将您的SkyDrive帐户链接到计算机。
A popup will open making sure you want to load the SkyDrive plugin. Click Yes to accept and continue.
将打开一个弹出窗口,确保您要加载SkyDrive插件。 单击“ 是”接受并继续。
Gladinet will now mount SkyDrive in your new virtual Z: drive. This may take several minutes, depending on your internet connection speed.
Gladinet现在将SkyDrive安装在新的虚拟Z:驱动器中。 这可能需要几分钟,具体取决于您的Internet连接速度。
You may see a popup offering to setup automatic backup to your cloud storage. This is a professional feature, so if you wish to just use the free version click Cancel to continue.
您可能会看到一个弹出窗口,用于设置自动备份到云存储。 这是一项专业功能,因此,如果您只想使用免费版本,请单击“ 取消”以继续。
Using SkyDrive Directly In Windows Explorer
在Windows资源管理器中直接使用SkyDrive
After a few minutes, an Explorer window will open and display the contents of your SkyDrive directly in Windows Explorer. Now you can browse the contents of your SkyDrive directly from Explorer! You can even use native Windows features such as breadcrumb folder selection.
几分钟后,资源管理器窗口将打开,并直接在Windows资源管理器中显示SkyDrive的内容。 现在,您可以直接从资源管理器浏览SkyDrive的内容! 您甚至可以使用Windows本机功能,例如面包屑文件夹选择。
You can access more functions from the right-click menu. In addition to the standard file and folder operations such as rename, copy, and delete, you can also choose Glaidnet-specific features. These let you get the URL for a web folder, or simply open the folder directly in your browser. Note that Explorer may appear to freeze while it is accessing your online storage; using online storage can be slow, especially if your internet connection is slow.
您可以从右键菜单访问更多功能。 除了诸如重命名,复制和删除之类的标准文件和文件夹操作外,您还可以选择特定于Glaidnet的功能。 这些使您可以获取Web文件夹的URL,或直接在浏览器中直接打开该文件夹。 请注意,资源管理器在访问您的在线存储时可能会冻结; 使用在线存储可能会很慢,特别是如果您的Internet连接很慢。
And you can quickly access your online storage directly from the Computer view in Explorer. Note that the amount of storage reported available was strangely just copying our C: drive’s storage; your SkyDrive only contains 25Gb of storage space.
而且,您可以直接从资源管理器中的“计算机”视图快速访问在线存储。 请注意,报告的可用存储量只是复制了C:驱动器的存储; 您的SkyDrive仅包含25Gb的存储空间。
You can add new files by dragging and dropping them into folders in SkyDrive. This will open a small popup from Gladinet showing the upload progress. Adding new files may take some time, depending on your internet connection. If you’d rather not see the popups every time, check the box at the bottom of the dialog.
您可以通过将新文件拖放到SkyDrive中的文件夹中来添加新文件。 这将从Gladinet中打开一个小的弹出窗口,显示上传进度。 添加新文件可能需要一些时间,具体取决于您的Internet连接。 如果您不想每次都看到弹出窗口,请选中对话框底部的框。
Additionally, if you’re uploading or downloading large files or a large number of files at once, Gladinet will warn you that the process may take a long time. If you’d like to backup a large number of files to or from your online storage, you may want to let your computer upload during the night or some other time when it would otherwise be idle.
此外,如果您要一次上传或下载大文件或大量文件,Gladinet会警告您该过程可能需要很长时间。 如果您想将大量文件备份到在线存储中或从在线存储中备份,则可能希望让计算机在晚上或其他空闲时间上传。
You can also select your online SkyDrive storage as the location to save new files from any program.
您也可以选择在线SkyDrive存储作为保存任何程序中新文件的位置。
You can open any of your files directly from your SkyDrive by simply double-clicking them as normal. Again, they may take a few moments to open as they must download first. If you open a Microsoft Office file from your SkyDrive in Office 2010, it will recognize that the file is stored online at SkyDrive and will take advantage of the versioning support in the Office Web Apps. Your Save button will change to show that it is refreshing the changes with the copy saved on the cloud.
您可以直接从SkyDrive直接打开任何文件,只需简单地双击它们即可。 同样,它们可能需要一些时间才能打开,因为必须先下载。 如果您从Office 2010中的SkyDrive中打开Microsoft Office文件,它将识别该文件在线存储在SkyDrive中,并将利用Office Web Apps中的版本支持。 您的“保存”按钮将更改,以表明它正在使用保存在云中的副本刷新更改。
Do note that SkyDrive only allows you to store files that are up to 50Mb large. If you try to upload a larger file, Gladinet will offer to split the file in smaller pieces for you; however, this is a professional feature, so if you’re using the free version just click No and upload a different file or split the file in pieces yourself.
请注意,SkyDrive仅允许您存储最大50Mb的文件。 如果您尝试上传较大的文件,Gladinet将为您提供将文件拆分为较小的文件的功能。 但是,这是一项专业功能,因此,如果您使用的是免费版本,只需单击“否”,然后上传另一个文件或自己将文件拆分成多个部分。
Additional, sycronization tools such as SyncToy did not seem to work with online storage accounts in Gladinet. So if you want to backup files to your online storage, you’ll need to either purchase the professional version of Gladinet which includes a backup utility or simply drag-and-drop the files manually.
另外,SyncToy等同步化工具似乎不适用于Gladinet中的在线存储帐户。 因此,如果您想将文件备份到在线存储中,则需要购买专业版的Gladinet(包括备份实用程序)或简单地手动拖放文件。
Add Another Storage Account
添加另一个存储帐户
Gladinet isn’t just limited to one online storage account; you can add as many accounts as you need, including multiple accounts at the same service. To add an account, browse to your networked drive (usually Z:\) and double-click the Click to mount [cloud storage] link.
Gladinet不仅限于一个在线存储帐户。 您可以根据需要添加任意数量的帐户,包括同一服务中的多个帐户。 要添加帐户,请浏览到网络驱动器(通常为Z:\),然后双击“ 单击以挂载[云存储]”链接。
Select the storage provider you wish to add from the drop-down list. We’re going to add our Google Docs account, you could add an FTP account, Amazon S3, Windows Azure, or even a second Windows Live SkyDrive account.
从下拉列表中选择要添加的存储提供商。 我们将添加我们的Google Docs帐户,您可以添加一个FTP帐户,Amazon S3,Windows Azure或另一个Windows Live SkyDrive帐户。
Enter the account information for this account. If you’re adding your Google Apps account, enter your email address and password.
输入该帐户的帐户信息。 如果您要添加Google Apps帐户,请输入您的电子邮件地址和密码。
Now click Finish to setup the account, and Gladinet will automatically add this cloud storage account to your computer.
现在,单击“完成”以设置该帐户,Gladinet将自动将此云存储帐户添加到您的计算机。
If you haven’t used this storage service yet, you may be prompted to load the correct plugin. Click Yes to continue.
如果尚未使用此存储服务,则可能会提示您加载正确的插件。 单击是继续。
After a few moments, your new cloud storage account will open in Explorer. Here we have our Google Docs account open, and we can open and edit individual documents in Microsoft Office on our PC. You can even add new documents to your Google Docs account, or organize your documents into folders. This is a great way to quickly add new documents to Google Docs, or backup your existing documents. We were able to add other files, including an .exe program to our Google Docs account, but remember that your Google Docs account only has 1Gb of free storage.
片刻之后,您的新云存储帐户将在资源管理器中打开。 在这里,我们打开了Google文档帐户,并且可以在PC上的Microsoft Office中打开和编辑单个文档。 您甚至可以将新文档添加到您的Google文档帐户,或将文档整理到文件夹中。 这是快速将新文档添加到Google文档或备份现有文档的好方法。 我们能够将其他文件(包括.exe程序)添加到我们的Google Docs帐户,但是请记住,您的Google Docs帐户只有1Gb的免费存储空间。
If you upload a document to a Google Docs account, you may be prompted that the file will be converted to Google Docs format. You can click Yes to disable the conversion and upload the original file, or click No to proceed with the file conversion.
如果您将文档上传到Google文档帐户,则系统可能会提示您将文件转换为Google文档格式。 您可以单击“是”以禁用转换并上载原始文件,或者单击“否”以继续进行文件转换。
Here’s our new files in our Google Docs account. Too bad you can’t edit the exe’s source code in the cloud!
这是我们在Google文档帐户中的新文件。 太糟糕了,您无法在云中编辑exe的源代码!
Extra Gladinet Features
额外的Gladinet功能
You can access extra Gladinet features from its tray icon.
您可以从其任务栏图标访问Gladinet的其他功能。
One especially nice feature is the Task Manager, which lets you see the progress of current uploads and any errors that may have occurred with previous transfers.
任务管理器是一项特别出色的功能,它使您可以查看当前上传的进度以及以前的传输可能发生的任何错误。
You can also access other Gladinet settings from the left sidebar, such as the amount of offline cache Gladinet will keep on your computer. Note that most of the additional features are marked as Pro, so you won’t be able to use them with the standard free version.
您还可以从左侧边栏访问其他Gladinet设置,例如Gladinet将保留在您的计算机上的脱机缓存数量。 请注意,大多数其他功能都标记为Pro,因此您将无法在标准的免费版本中使用它们。
Conclusion
结论
If you regularly use online file storage services, Gladinet can be an extremely useful tool to help you pull all of your storage options together and organize both your online and offline files the way you want. This lets you quickly edit Office documents in SkyDrive or Google Docs in native desktop applications, or copy all of your important files to a secure online folder in a variety of services. Accessing files and folders was often fairly slow, but this will depend on your internet connection. Still, it was a much more convenient way to manage online storage than web-based interfaces. It is also a great way to migrate files from one online storage service to another. For instance, you could move your Google Docs to SkyDrive or vise versa, or even move all of your files to a secure Amazon S3 storage account.
如果您定期使用在线文件存储服务,那么Gladinet可能是一个非常有用的工具,可以帮助您将所有存储选项集中在一起,并按照自己的方式组织在线和离线文件。 这样一来,您便可以在本机桌面应用程序中的SkyDrive或Google Docs中快速编辑Office文档,或者将所有重要文件复制到各种服务中的安全在线文件夹中。 访问文件和文件夹通常很慢,但这取决于您的Internet连接。 但是,与基于Web的界面相比,它是一种更方便的在线存储管理方式。 这也是将文件从一种在线存储服务迁移到另一种在线服务的好方法。 例如,您可以将Google文档移至SkyDrive,反之亦然,甚至将所有文件移至安全的Amazon S3存储帐户。
Gladinet Starter Edition is free, and contains all the features we’ve covered here, while the Pro version costs $49 and offers encrypted, compressed, and mirrored folders in the cloud, as well as a cloud backup utility that can backup to multiple online storage locations at once. Either which edition you choose,
