I'm trying to share some files that are on my iDisk public folder, with a friend who uses a PC. When he follows the link I gave him - https://public.me.com/myusername - he gets a Mobile Me screen with no other information on it, instead of my idisk.



Anybody have info on if I'm using the right way for him to get access to my idisk, or any tricks to making it work for a PC?



thanks!

    Make sure your friend is using a compatible browser, either IE8, Safari or firefox. Go into your Mac settings, choose MobileMe and click on the iDisk tab. Set a password for your public folder (I always do this for security anyway) then send your friend the link.



    If the browser he is using is compatible it should load up then prompt him for the password, it will then load up your public folder for him.



    Hope this helps
