Hopefully this is in the right place to post.



I'd like to display some of my own Jpegs to AI without having to go through the bother of setting up a web-page..

Something like sending pics as 'attachments'" via Hotmail..

So, does anyone know of sites where I can temporarily upload such personal images, store them and then send them down to AI by quoting a http as per normal ....? And for free ?

    well you could just ask someone to use some space on their iDisk or something... im sure they will keep it up until they need the space...

    http://homepage.mac.com/*username*/.Public/*nameoffile.extention*



    capitalization counts...



    [fixed the url - Brad]



    what the... how did you get it to do that without automatically linking (and as a result abbreviate itself)?



    now look what i did... brad, fix it again



    nevermind... I'm smart too

    Thanx Guys.

    I have opened up a 60 day trail account with Mac.com..But the home page seems to take 4ever to load...odd indeed.



    NOTE ABOUT IMAGESTATION.COM



    Other thing is I have discovered the Sony has a similar storage set up to Mac.com..only difference is that it is entirely free & unlimited..well virtually..

    It says it is Mac OS-X friendly.

    Anywaze..I signed up for a free account.

    It has a drag & drop feature where you simply drag any image you want to store, over the blue target square.& presto..It's meant to be loaded.

    But try as I might, it wouldn't load for me.

    All that would happen would be that explorer would automatically open up the image in " local machine zone". Cleared Cookies & history cache but still would jump to local machine zone... Very frustrating...

    I am that close..yet seeminly so far..

    I am runing OS 9.2



    Any Ideas ?

    try emailing your pics



    http://www.imagestation.com/help/topics/storing.html



    but the service might only work with 10.x and not 9.2...



    I'm curious if this will work... keep us posted!

    Will try it tonight.



    Re OS-X :



    Yes I suspect that it is meant for OS-X only.



    PS : Makes me wonder about Steve Jobs's meetings with Sony..?



    Perhaps someone running OS-X might like to give it a go.
