Idisk where is it

Mac pane of System Preferences once, and from that point on all you need to do is click the iDisk icon in the sidebar of Finder windows. But what about connecting to an iDisk other than the one listed in.

Mac preferences? Mac account. In fact, the easiest way to deal with this situation within the Finder is to create Internet Location files for each iDisk, or to make aliases to each. Setting up iDiskMenu for an iDisk is just as easy as setting up the.

Mac pane of System Preferences: You just provide a nickname for the menu shortcut, then enter the. Mac username and password.

Syncing works I can't have that. I want to be able to manually drag and drop files into a folder and then retrieve it on another computer. The whole syncing fad is just that a fad. I can never trust any online storage to hold documents and then have the ability to delete something on my computer.

Yes, I can just drag a copy to the Dropbox folder but then it makes a copy in that folder and in the cloud. I work with huge graphic files. I want to have total control of what's in the cloud and what's on my computers Though iDisk is slow it works. I have files on my iDisk that have been there for years and I want them there. Jan 19, PM. I was using iDisk as well. And then I had to think of alternatives. Dropbox and others are not flexible, quite expensive, data is not safe dropbox can end their service at any time, I heard and they use tight storage limits.

In the end I switched to Nomadesk which is a real blessing. All my files 15 GB are stored in a secure environment. Fun is that I can use Nomadesk with my Finder to send Filelinks to others. I can sync up to 3 computers without extra cost. And I have an iPhone app to share files on the move. I also tried Wuala and some others. Nomadesk is the first application that really works integrated with Finder. It logs on after start up set up in user prefs and then it is just available.

Where I had those anoying sync messages from iDisk, now it works smoothly. Even when I have a sync issue, it just reminds me by the color of the icon red in stead of green. Jan 20, AM. Thanks for the info. What I'm looking for is a non-sync program. I really don't want to have anything to do with sync. I just want an extension of the Finder. A place I can create folders for clients, invite them to look at QT proofs stream etc just like iDisk.

I never used the invite system of iDisk and I never synced my Home folder just because I didn't want that. I want to control exactly what's on the cloud server. I downloaded Nomadesk and it seems to be another sync cloud service. I really don't want to install one of these services on my computer. We installed Dropbox on one of our computers and it was so invasive and annoying.

Practically had to wipe the drive to get rid of it. In that case you are right. If you would upgrade to the team-fileserver, you would be able to select folders to sync or not.

In this fileserver version, you can only decide on file level via Nomadesk dashboard. You could also check on Wuala. It has been some time.

But as I recall, Wuala has both syncing and storage options. I wanted to keep my computers in sync, but I found many solutions that cannot sync but only store data.

Hope you find something Agree on Dropbox by the way. Please update with what you find. I have been using my idisk to store files I can access from a web browser, my iMac or Macbook, or even my iPhone. DropBox has not yet been satisfactory. I don't want to store all the files on my iPhone for example, but maybe it won't. I think I'll play with Dropbox some more, but I will really miss the Idisk.

Jan 27, PM. I agree a million percent with you, glitchNE. These are the exact same reasons why I have always loved iDisk. I do not want to mold my workflow and file organization around Dropbox.

I will NOT move all my important files to my Dropbox folder. I tried Dropbox but have to duplicate all my files. I have been so bummed by this. To me, MobileMe was more of a cloud service than iCloud is now. Seriously considering starting a company around the iDisk model Feb 8, AM.

Question: Q: Where is iDisk in iCloud? I got it in the finder now! More Less. Communities Get Support. Sign in Sign in Sign in corporate. Browse Search. Ask a question. User profile for user: miahint miahint.
