World of Apple

Apple has announced that the long awaited iDisk file sharing feature is now available for use. The feature allows large files to be shared easily without having to risk emailing it.

We’re pleased to announce that you can now use your MobileMe iDisk to share files with others simply and easily. Instead of attaching a large document to an email and hoping it’s not too big to be received, you can place the file in your iDisk and use the new Share File command in the iDisk web app. It lets you send your friends, family, or colleagues a link they can click to download the file directly. You can password protect the link if you choose to and even set how long it will be available.

Apple has a video tutorial online to demonstrate the process of sharing a file.

The iDisk sharing feature was originally advertised prior to MobileMe’s launch but was pulled at the last minute for unknown reasons.
