I have a mobile Me account, which is integrated with my IPhone. The subscription comes with a 20GB space for storage. However, I rarely use it to upload photos..etc, and the space is pretty much a waste.
So, I started exploring ways by which I could use that space as an online storage of my files (Something like Drop Box, but have much more space)
The following steps details how to map a network drive in windows 7 to the iDisk folder:
- Open windows explorer, and go to Tools—> Map Network Drives…If the “Tools” menu is not visible, try pressing the “ALT” key
- In the network drive mapping dialog, enter the folder path as : http://idisk.me.com/<username>, where, <username> is your signin userid which you use at http://www.me.com
- Check the “Connect Using Different Credentials” checkmark
- Click on “finish”, and enter your mobileme credentials when asked. Thats it!!!
Enjoy putting your iDisk in Mobile Me account, to use.
