Mobile Me comes in handy (for once)

After the rant by THE Walt Mossberg completely dissing Mobile Me an saying is “Far Too Flawed To Be Reliable” I found a way where it can be handy…

After a few tries I got iDisk to work on my eee PC Ubuntu setup in order to share/backup files between all my machines.

Here is how:

• Go to the Places Menu
• Choose Connect to Server
• Select Service type: WebDAV
• Enter Server: idisk.me.com
• enter your username in the “Folder” field (important, otherwise it won’t work!)
• enter your username in the “Username” field
• Leave the other fields blank
• Press Connect

And voilà it works…
