Remote SharePoint development is getting more important. Especially with SharePoint Apps. To speed up development, find hidden lists/items/documents, discover the structure or specific artifact properties use the SharePoint Client Browser which supports both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.

Get up and running in seconds, because this WinForm tool does not need installation but simply unzip the download and start the EXE file. Next step, connect to your on-premise or SharePoint Online (Office 365) site collection.

Note: Please provide feedback via discussions and issues. I'm looking forward to your opinion, likes, new feature requests or issues you came across.
