There used to be an easy and efficient Dropbox alternative built into iCloud and OS X Lion. Of course Apple never intended it to be used this way, but if you opened your Library folder you'd find a folder called Mobile Documents. In it you would find folders associated with each of your iOS apps that have Documents in the Cloud enabled (iWork, Goodreader, etc.)
The trick was that you could drag and drop files into these folders, keeping things in sync across all your Macs and all your iOS devices at the same time! It was brilliant while it worked, but I noticed that after 10.7.3, changes to the Mobile Documents folder no longer get reflected on iDevices, and vice versa. The syncing no longer seems to work. That being said, iCloud still seems to be keeping everything in sync across my iDevices - but the Mobile Documets folder on my Mac is sadly left out.
I know this workaround was never endorsed by Apple, but I'm curious as to how 10.7.3 might have "broken" it. Also, I'm wondering if it's still working for anyone else.
