First impressions, it seems very cool. You can have up to 200MB local storage, meaning once you've downloaded a file, it appears in "Recents" and is available without having to re-download. It states in Settings/Local Storage that "Audio and video files are streamed and not stored locally".

Browsing seems much quicker than alternative iDisk apps I've tried, QuickOffice/MobileFiles, OneDisk, ReaddleDocs etc.

No advanced PDF features though unfortunately, i.e. no bookmarking, fast-scrolling or go-to-page functionality.

There's also a button next to each file to quickly share it, by opening an email with a link in it, and options for expiration date and password.

Is it just called "idisk"? I can't follow the link because I'm at work but I want to download it from my phone.

Thanks for the post! I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. I'm downloading it right now

ETA: It loads way quicker than the mobileme website interface

The icon's a little crappy, the one they showed before looked way better!

Thank you. I just remembered that I could access this thread from my phone and got it that way.

I never really used iDisk before but now I think it this is something I'll use allot with this app.

Too bad you have to have a mobileme account according to the requirements.......

 

[lacker]

feeling its a little slow for now though

Am I missing something or is there no way to download a specifc file to your phone for quick viewing? I know there's a local storage option but that seems to just keep the most recently accessed 100MB worth of files (or whatever amount you set it to). I've been using MobileFiles and that offers the option to download specific files to your phone.

Well, obviously, since you only get iDisk with MobileMe.

No option to download that I can see. It's as you say; keeps the most recently accessed ≤200MB worth of files. This is ample for my needs, but I could see how others might need more storage than this or a separate option to download specific files.

They need to add that - you should be able to choose which specific files you wish to download to your phone. Shoud be easy enough to add that functionality in an update. Seems like a decent app so far though and you can't beat the price.

I'm amazed, I truly believed these went the way of the .mac members exclusive widgets.

 

[calimed]

Can someone please tell me how this is different from the current MobileMe app that has been available for some time now???

How about you guys link to the original thread that FIRST posted about the release of the app*, instead of making forum members work as free journalists?

*this is the least credit you can give to the OP.
