Mobile Me debuts large file sharing with iDisk

Too little...too late. I'm sure I'm not the only person who's already broken in a second Apple ID, tied it to Apple Support, iTunes, and other places and getting ready for the day my current MobileMe contract is over. It's worth something...just not $99/year.

About time!

It feels like July 2008 now...

There are domain registrars that will provide a limited amount of free web space just by registering a domain name (~$6/year). You can do that exact same thing with that and, quite honestly, it won't screw up names, etc.

If you want a non-technical solution, use the free services of something like Box.net.

I -want- to like MobileMe, but the cost/value ratio just isn't there.

iDisk is still too slow IMHO.

This is perfect!
I've been trying to upload a file to iDisk since last August. It's just finished uploading, so now I can share it with people.

I just saw this last night when I was uploading some files. Seems like something I might use at some point, nice to know what it is though.

Worked great for me.
Two notes:
1. The sent email lists "undisclosed recipients" when you send it to more than one person (but not when you send it to just one). If you want to keep a record of who you share files with, share them individually or simply share it with yourself and then forward the email you received.
2. When you share .zip files, they download as such but are uncompressed automatically (at least on OSX 10.5.6) with no trace of the .zip file.

I have a Mobile me account (got with my new mac) but won't renew it after this week because it's too expensive. It needs to be lowered- Dropbox for only $10 month or $99 year is more appealing than only 20Gigs for your buck. :)

Try selling MobileMe to customers. It has some great features and integrates with the mac nicely, but its pricey for what you get. I use it for my multiple macs that sync, and iphone sync. A very hard product to sell and Apple expects a large attatchment rate. Lower it to $40.00 or so a year and you have a deal.

You could already do this. Just put files in your sites folder and send people links. Big deal! web.me.com/your_user_name/whatever_the_file_name_is.whatever

I've been file sharing since day one.
