SkyDrive offers 25GB free space, but only offers a way too simple web upload one file at a time.
Does software exist, that makes it possible to mount it as a network drive?
Edit: The solutions work for a while, but stop working after awhile.

A little update if anyone out there is interested like me :) http://skydrivesimpleviewer.codeplex.com/ gives you WebDAV url's so you can mount Skydrive folders natively in Windows Explorer with "Map network drive".
UPDATE: In case this method does not work for you (for some users it says invalid username or password), I managed to map skydrive as network drive using MS Word (publish to sky drive and taking url from there).
See Microsoft Office and web section in this document: http://www.mikeplate.com/2010/01/17/how-to-connect-to-skydrive-with-webdav/

3This is absolutely the way to go. No third-party software running all the time, and it just works. This should be the accepted answer. – Andrew Ensley – 2011-01-25T18:59:33.120
1That program doesn't works anymore. – OZ_ – 2011-09-20T17:38:43.000
Rather than using the third-party app to get the WebDAV URL, you can also just use Office: open a doc from skydrive in Office, Save As, and see the WebDAV URL right there. – Allanrbo – 2012-08-05T13:16:31.173

You need to use the Gladinet software to do this.

You do not need any external tools like Gladinet anymore.
There are a few tutorials:

Cyberduck (free and open source FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, etc. browser for Mac, Linux, Windows) has added support for OneDrive. I can confirm it's working on a Mac in version 6+. It's offshoot, Mountain Duck has support for mounting OneDrive folders as local disks.

If you are linking to another answer's content and only providing a link its a sign you should flag the question as a duplicate. We expect more out of answer than a link a content that (by the way the original source no longer exists) for that exact reason so spend some time and provide the relevant information or I will do it and post my own answer :$ – Ramhound – 2014-12-08T22:02:49.117
I see a colon at the end of your answer. Is it truncated? – bwDraco – 2014-12-09T05:58:46.730
I edited the URL so it references web archived version. I don't know about you, but the link I referenced previously worked then and continues to work today. Maybe it was a glitch on your end. – Sun – 2015-03-02T16:52:28.120
