Just what I was looking for, thanks!

thank you thank you thank you
YEAH! That’s it. Solves a real nasty problem I had for a long time. THANKS!
Great tip, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Hi,
Is there a way to make it available even when you are offline?
Thanks
Hedi — I actually don’t even use the above service any longer, I just use Windows Live Sync — http://www.foldershare.com/ — there is an OSX client as well as a Windows client. It syncs folders between computers, making local copies on each.
Thanks for the instructions! I assume with http that this link is unencrypted. I tried with https (“https://idisk.me.com/[username]“) and it worked, but the link is very slow… Any thoughts? Or does the network drive mounting encrypt the communication to/from iDisk? I would not want my connection to iDisk to be unencrypted…
Dan,
I honestly don’t have an answer for that, I also had speed issues with mine… I ended up switching completely over to Windows Live Sync.
I tried this and usually can map drives without trouble, but in I get the following error after I enter my credentials. The Mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred. The File cannot be accessed by the system.
I am using my me user name for User Name when entering my credentials. In your example that is law1983.
I really want this to work, it sounds VERY cool. Thanks
Thanks a lot for that Info!
is there a similar way to map ‘public’ folder on idisk. so instead of http://idisk.me.com/username,
i want to mount http://public.me.com/username
i have been using a friends public folder to facilitate a project, and i tried to follow these directions for the public folder but could not map it as a drive.
thanks
Looks like you can’t use \Z:\ which was the default on my PC. I couldn’t get the logon to work (credentials), but I knew they were correct. The only think I could think to do was change the drive. Changed it to \M:\ and it worked great.
works under VISTA toooooo.
Thanks! Workig fine on a crap W7
thx it worked!
