Every day we offer FREE licensed software you’d have to buy otherwise.
Skyfiles 4.0 was available as a giveaway on March 10, 2023!
Skyfiles is a third-party Google Drive client, which allows you to manage Google Drive files with your desktop apps instead of working through a browser.
With Skyfiles, you can edit/view Google Drive files with your local software.
Unlike Google's Backup and Sync, which cost lots of your local storage, Skyfiles is disk-free.
Windows 7/ 8/ 10/ 11

Lifetime
$29.00
The software downloads the files temporarily and once we finish working on the files, it syncs these back. So, the same amount of data is used as it would be if we download a file from G drive and then upload it. So what's the point of having it?

Is this different from SkyDrive?

Paul Wright,
>"Is this different from SkyDrive?"
SkyDrive was the name used by Microsoft before they changed it to OneDrive.
Skyfiles used to be called GDocsDrive. They are not the same thing, nor have the exact same function(s).

creatrix, I think you are right, it's just like Google B&S "Steam file mode"

Good day, I'm a user like you are. But I use today's app, and it does download very heavy video audio with no problems or with 'drag & drop' action. And it has got more quick and useful function than google-drive. Every work is faster than in google account.
Have a nice day.

The problem is not that there are lots of rogue employees at each company or that the govt is going to hack into every person's data at every online company because that takes time and a lot of CPU, though they are getting much faster at brute forcing them. They don't have to hack in because they already have full access.
The problem is under the Patriot Act the govt has threatened to prosecute under the excuse of protecting people from "bad guys" every large telecom and Internet data company unless they provide all data to the govt through back doors. Every byte of data you send through your ISP or cell phone, including every private message, email, URL request, or social media post gets a copy sent to the govt whose AI algorithms sift through and store the data. Google does the same and all this data ends up in govt searchable databases.
AFAIK, very few companies have not complied. The ones that refused, such as True Crypt, chose to shut down than add the back doors. At this point I would assume every company and every recent encryption and zip software has back doors in it. The Patriot Act had unintended consequences. This is my current understanding of things.
