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.

Finding a use for gifts you don't use

( Stuart Miles / FreeRangeStock.com ) Question: Someone gives you a present. You open it, give the gifter a sincere smile, and say, "Thank you," but you know that gift is something you'll never use. Not once. What do you do with it later? Me? I keep them. I just can't shake the feeling of guilt that goes along with regifting or selling them. As a result, my family and I have lots of items we either haven't used in years or have never used at all: An electric knife, electric griddle, a big mixer, something called Yonanas. The list goes on and on. But the bottom line is, Yonanas and electric knives don't fit my family's lifestyle. They never have, and I doubt they ever will. So I think I might need to get over feeling like it would be ungrateful to get rid of them and post them in places like Craigslist or some of those online sales sites on Facebook for sale. That way, at least we can have the cash to pay toward part of our debt. Wouldn't...

Trimming the Grocery List

This week is another grocery shopping week, and I'm dreading it. I had at one point managed to get my grocery spending under $175 every two weeks, the last few trips have not gone that well. They've all totaled more than $200, not including any supplementary trips I needed to make later. I'm not really sure what I can do to cut it more at this point beyond rethink what we've been eating. Over the past few months, the price of ground beef has gone up quite a bit, and much of what we eat has ground beef in it. I had been buying the leanest beef available, but on my last grocery trip, I bought 90/10 meat. Perhaps we'll need to eat more chicken.

Getting Ready for Etsy Debut

One of my hopes for making a little extra money is to see some of my handmade crafts on Etsy. I have a few items I'd like to list -- a couple of bracelets -- but the beads on them are so small that I'm having trouble getting decent photos of them. Hopefully, I'll have something usable by the end of the week.
