Macintosh How To

iDisk was Apple’s online disk space that you get automatically if you sign up for MobileMe. It has been discontinued. The easiest replacement is probably dropbox.

Apple has chosen not to migrate iDisk across to iCloud at this stage, but a good replacement is dropbox.

Check it our here:

You sign up online, then it makes a folder on your hard disk that is always ‘synced’ with the online version. You can then choose to share individual files with others by making them public if you choose.

   You left out the most important part. HOW LARGE can the file be?

   this does not work because iDisk limits uploaded file size to 1GB. Clearly states maximum allowed file size is 1 GB.
   My file is 6.5 GB. My computer will not compress this file.
   Available space in my iDisk is 17GB.

   Any suggestions? Is there a way to increase upload file size?
