Collaborate E∂ ortlessly
with .Mac iDisk
In a world that relies increasingly on the Internet, it’s common to collaborate with
people who are not in the same place—whether they’re across town, on the opposite
end of the country, or on the other side of the world.
iDisk is personal storage space on Apple servers that you can access anytime you
are online. Use your iDisk to exchange media fi les and documents with friends and
colleagues, especially fi les that are too large to email.
Of course, you can also store fi les on your iDisk for your exclusive use; only the fi les
you put in your Public folder will be visible to people who access your iDisk. There’s
plenty of room for your important fi les—individual .Mac members have 1GB of
storage shared between iDisk and Mail; Family Pack memberships have a total of 2GB.
You can easily upgrade storage up to 4GB.

Using iDisk to Collaborate
Here are some examples of how iDisk can make it easy to collaborate:
• A percussionist in Toronto is contributing drum tracks to a CD; the rest of the
musicians are in Paris. The Paris artists load their music fi les onto the Canadian’s
iDisk; he downloads the fi les, adds the percussion tracks, and puts the updated
version back in his Public folder. No one has to travel.
• The president of a local club uses her iDisk to store photos for the quarterly newsletter.
By giving other people access to the Public folder on her iDisk, she can let them see
her photos and add their own.
• Members of an extended family who live all over the country use iDisk to trade photos,
movies, and documents as they plan a family reunion.
