Still Looking for iDisk Replacement

Back in June, I signed up for GoDaddy's data storage service, thinking it would be a good replacement for Apple's iDisk, which Apple discontinued on June 30. It turns out, it didn't work as I had hoped so it won't do.

Here's why I liked the iDisk:

I paid for the service, and in turn, I got access to X amount of online data storage (I no longer remember how much) that was automatically divided into several folders, one of which was labeled "Public." I had the option to password protect the public folder, which I did.

Then, I could send a link to whomever I wanted to allow access to the folder. The recipients could then login from anywhere, whether they use a PC or a Mac, and both download and upload files and folders. They could see and access anything within that folder.

This allowed me as a part-time freelancer to move files back and forth between myself and my clients, without requiring them to buy or sign up for anything themselves.

Also, my clients could see at a glance what they've already sent. They could group documents and images according to topic in subfolders, too, which made things easier on their end and on mine.

(Incidentally, the only thing I didn't like about the iDisk was its price tag. At $100 a year, it was a little steep for something I used only a couple of times a year.)

Here's what I don't like about every potential replacement -- including GoDaddy -- I've come across:

Much like the iDisk, I can grant access to a particular folder to my clients (or family and friends, if I so choose). However, unlike the iDisk, it's read-only access unless the client signs up for an account of their own. They can see what I put in there, but unless they get their own account, they cannot upload anything themselves. In many cases, the account would be free for my clients, but that's beside the point. I don't like having to tell people, "You have to sign up for this service in order to hire me."

Here's what I found as a temporary substitute:

TransferBigFiles.com got me through the most recent freelance project I completed. Like the iDisk, my clients could send me files and receive files without getting their own accounts. However, there is no place online in which my clients can see everything related to a particular project. They cannot create their own subfolders; as a matter of fact, the site won't allow them to send items within a folder.

I intend to keep looking (and I welcome any tips from readers) for a service that works JUST LIKE the iDisk, but if I can't find it, TransferBigFiles will do.

Tackling the Electricity Bill

I got our latest electricity bill this past week. It went up. Again. I don't understand why. It's been a mild winter, so we haven't used the heater as much as last year. Plus, I've made a few small changes that I had hoped would add up to even a slight savings: I've cut down on the time the TV has been on. I haven't been perfect about it, though, because I still turn it on to watch something, decide to work on something else at the same time, then after an hour or so, I realize I'm not watching the TV at all. Wasted electricity. I've unplugged my alarm clock. When we first brought our daughter home, her pediatrician recommended we feed her every two hours for the first week or so. After the first night of pushing an awkward combination of buttons and waiting for the alarm time to advance every couple of hours, I realized it was tons easier to just punch the time into my cellphone alarm. I kept the bedside clock until about two weeks ago. I also unpl...

Home Improvements

I've taken a week off in September to finish some home improvement projects that have been in progress for far too long. My challenge between now and then will be to both set aside and earn enough to buy the supplies without having to charge anything. Our biggest expense will be paint. We've got to paint our living room ceiling, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom to have our home "finished." Hopefully we'll be able to get that far with it, but my fear is we'll need longer than a week to complete it all because several walls need to be repaired in places first. I've got a freelance project in progress right now that will give us the bulk of what we'll need, but I don't think it will cover everything. Plus, I have to make sure I don't spend any of it between now and then on "wants."

Walmart Cards

On Thursday last week, I made a hasty trip through Walmart to pick up items I can't buy at Aldi when I noticed a sign that said using a Walmart card at the Murphy Oil gas stations could net a 15 cents a gallon savings. Because I was breezing through the store on my way to drop my daughter off at daycare before I had to head to work, I just made a mental note to do a little more looking into it later. Well, I finally had the chance. The 15 cents a gallon saving lasts through Christmas Eve, and it's good only on a Walmart prepaid debit card or credit card. If the 15 cents a gallon were permanent, I'd consider getting the prepaid debit card. Because it's only temporary though, I've decided to try loading up Walmart gift cards instead, which gives a 10 cents a gallon savings at Murphy stations through Dec. 24. Hopefully, I'll make the time to fit it into my schedule because my car doesn't get the greatest gas mileage, and 10 cents a gallon could come in ha...
