Sharing Large Files With iDisk

Apple recently launched a new feature to their MobileMe service that lets you easily share large files without sending a large email attachment. In order to use it, you'll need to be in the me.com web interface. From here, you can share any file in your iDisk with the click of a button. You can set the share to expire after a set number of days and even password protect it. Once you share it with someone, they will receive an email with a link to download the file.

Now I can share this huge 1 KB text file!

This is a great way to share a large document, video, or any type of large file without worrying about email file size limits. Many mail servers block attachments of a certain size and this gets around that problem. It also helps to keep the size your friend's mailbox down. They'll thank you for that and you can count it as your good deed for the day.
