Last month, I posted about the Apple iDisk going away. I had thought that if I could upgrade to Apple’s iCloud service, I could keep the iDisk, and the only thing standing in my way was the age of my current computer.
Upon further research, though, I found that the iDisk function is going away regardless, which is good, because the pressure to upgrade my computer is off. I’ll need to upgrade at some point, but now I can take my time and may even be able to put it off for a few years.
However, I do need to find a substitute for the iDisk. I’ve considered Google Drive and Microsoft’s Skydrive, but both options require anyone I share documents with to sign up for an account (if they don’t already have one) with Google or Microsoft, respectively. I’d rather not force my freelance clients to do so.
One thing I’m considering is GoDaddy’s cloud storage service. I think it might work but I’d like to find reviews from other clients before I go that route, and I haven’t been able to find any that are recent. Hopefully, I can find something soon.
