Question

How do I drop Videos into my friends IDisk Folder

Answer 1

Using a web browser

You can open a .Mac member's Public folder to see and copy files. If the member has set access privileges to read-write, you can also add and remove files.

1. In your web browser, go to:

http://idisk.mac.com/membername-Public

(Where "membername" is the other person's .Mac member name. For example if the member name is "janesmith1234abcd", you would connect to http://idisk.mac.com/janesmith1234abcd-Public.)

2. If their Public folder is protected, enter a name of "public" and public password (which is provided to you by the .Mac member). You need to know the member's public password in order to read from or write to the folder.

You can also connect without using a web browser. The steps depend on which system you are using.
Using Mac OS X

Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 or later

1. Choose iDisk from the Go menu, then choose Other User's Public Folder from the submenu.
2. Type the member name of the person whose Public folder you want to open in the Member Name field, then click Connect.
3. If a password is required (your friend will tell you), type it in the Password field and click OK. The person's Public folder opens on your desktop.

If you're using Mac OS X 10.1 or 10.2

1. Choose Connect To Server from the Finder's Go menu and type http://idisk.mac.com/membername-Public (where "membername" is the person's .Mac member name).
2. If the Public folder is protected with a password, type "public" in the username field and type the Public folder password in the password field.


Using Windows

If you're using Windows Vista

Use iDisk on the web as explained above.

If you're using Windows XP
