Description

I use Storage Explorer on a number of different computers. It's being actively maintained, and gets many updates (good!). The install is relatively slow, and it feels like I'm prompted to update it every time I launch the app (bad!).

Since this is a Microsoft project, I was wondering if you guys could walk the walk of providing a version of this tool that can be installed via the Microsoft App Store? That way I can stop having to click my way through updates on the ~5 machines I use this tool on.

Oh, and the same goes for the Mac App Store.

Research direction

Begin by reviewing the existing Storage Explorer packaging and update process, then investigate the requirements for Microsoft App Store and Mac App Store distribution; done would mean a defined, supported path for installing and updating the app through both stores.
