Forgive me I need to get this out of my chest!

I takes ages to import all my files back from iDisk. It’s only 45mb pictures folder for god’s sake and it’s been HOURS! I always had to turn off the Airport connection to stop the loading window.  I am definitely leaving mobileme for good. I have been a good customer for over 5 years and this is what I get. The damn iDisk is freaking SLOW. Mobileme is the worst Apple product ever! 

It doesn’t even allow me to sync my files anymore, too much glitch and problems for $99 USD. The transition from dotmac to mobileme is really a disaster. Heck, even dotmac wasn’t that good either but at least is didn’t give me tons of trouble sync my files. The point is,  I spent $495 USD for 5 years just for what? Only for email address and storing my 45mb pictures with tons of glitch? And now it’s getting far worst than I thought, I can’t get my files back!

Anyway, end of rant.

I need to focus, I still have 45 days to move all my files and backup my emails before my account expire. I have to start looking for mobileme alternative. Although I found many choices but not sure which one I like, yet/

For iDisk alternative : Sugarsync, Funambol,  Bingodisk, dropbox,  AmazonS3, Google service or just rent one server and work it out.

For gallery, Sugarsync, google picasa and flickr works but I have to admit the mobileme gallery looks much better but well it doesn’t matter to me.

Ugh, my head is still aching.  I’ll keep looking until I find the one I like.

  1. @Leykita Agree it is not acceptable from apple, bad experience, bad performance – started badly and goes on worse.

    I closed my trial account just tree days ago -> http://italiaotoko.blogspot.com/2008/11/idisk-and-mobileme-dont-perform.html

    They missed the point – the web grow up and Apple need to rethink it’s strategy.

    Maybe you should checkout getdropbox.com as an iDisk replacement. If you also need the Contacts, Calendar syncing stuff, check out fruux.

    If you log into mobileme its actually faster than doing it from the menu. Don’t know why…

    Me… a big fan of ftp for moving things between machines.
