MobileMe Update Adds iDisk Public Folder Features, Makes 'Find My iPhone' More Prominent
Apple today posted a support document outlining several changes made today to its MobileMe subscription-based services. A number of the changes affect the viewing of and access to members' iDisk Public folders.
- New Public folder page located at http://public.me.com/{membername} now matches the look of me.com and supports drag and drop of files between folders (when enabled for visitors)
- Allowing visitors to upload, move, and delete files on your Public folder can now be set from www.me.com/idisk
- An iDisk Public folder password can now be set from www.me.com/idisk
- When logging in to a password-protected Public folder with a web browser, entering the generic username "public" is no longer required
- Adds ability to connect to another member's Public folder while viewing your own iDisk at me.com
Other updates include the addition of a "Find My iPhone" icon on the me.com navigation toolbar and the addition of a direct URL to allow users to quickly access the "Find My iPhone" feature. Finally, the update addresses a bug related to export of multiple contacts.
