    Skydrive for Mac OSx

    I am currently on a vacation and the place I am here, I have a Mac machine with me which is my brothers's mac. I am very much fond of Mac along with the windows.

    The problem is that this machine only has Mac. I wanted to upload some bulky files to my Skydrive account. But it is not possible to upload from this Mac machine having OSx. Is there an alternative way for uploading to Skydrive from OSx? Or do I need to install windows and then only access Skydrive?

    For uploading files in bulk, AciveX control is required and this is only possible on Internet Explorer. No other browser like firefox, opera or even mac browser safari are supported by AciveX control. And therefore it is not possible to upload to upload files in bulk to Skydrive from Mac OSx

    If you ask for the alternative of Skydrive for Mac, there is Dropbox which is also better and where files can be uploaded in bulk from Mac machines. The problem is that the free space is not as much as Skydrive provides.

    Yes I can access my skydrive on my mac, but when uploading i have to select each file individually to upload which is a big pain! Also I cannot upload complete folders from Mac. Its just not possible, I have tried it. Anyways, thanks for replying.
