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.
