HT4918 Sharing files on iCloud

i was able to have clients pull their files from my iDisk in the public folder. Now with iDisk gone is there a way to have the same feature with your iCloud?

No. There is no equivalent file sharing feature in iCloud.
You'll have to look at third-party solutions such as Dropbox, box.net, SugarSync, Google Drive etc.

  • HT4918 Sharing Calendars on iCloud from an iPad2

    I have iCloud activated on my iPad2 but cannot share any calendars. I am not given the options to publish or keep them private. What do I need to  to do so that I can share them?  My wife was able to share her calendars with me from her Mac. How do I do that?  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can share calendars from iCal on the mac or from the calendar feature at iCloud.com from any computer.

  • Sharing files with other mac users on iCloud

    May I share files I store on iCloud with other users?

    If you want to try online sharing you might like to look at SugarSync:
    https://www.sugarsync.com/products/sync_sharing.html
    - this page says:
    Collaborate with shared folders
    SugarSync keeps all your shared files up-to-date and in sync for powerful collaboration with your virtual team. With folder sharing, you can collaborate on projects by giving a person, or a group of people, access to a shared folder on your computer. No more wasting time emailing individual files and tracking the latest versions. Just send an email invitation to your clients, coworkers, or family members to join your folder.
    Sync folders of information across teams
    Folder members can sync a shared folder directly to their own computers. Any member of a shared folder can have their own copy of the folder on their own computer. Folder members can edit files locally. Updates are reflected for everyone as soon as the file is saved.
    I've not tried this so you would need to investigate to see whether it suited your requirements.
    There is also a new program, Cloud App, which makes sharing files simple: it runs as a background process and you just drag files to the menu bar icon. Storage is with Heroku and Amazon: it's free with a limit of 10 files per day, maximum 25MB per file, $45 per year for unlimited files, maximum 250MB per file.
    Another possible option is YouSendIt. It provides the facility for you to upload files and send an email to a recipient telling them how to download it: and it's also possible with all but the free plan for others to upload a file for you. The free version allows you to send a maximum file size of 50MB with no upload by others: $9.99 per month gets you 2GB sized files in either direction, and there are upgraded plans.

  • TS3991 Why don't shared files on the icloud update on my devices after they are edited by others?

    I have 4 different devices with 3 users. All users use the numbers app on iPads and the shared files don't for other users. For devices linked to the same Apple ID the updates appear immediately.
    What can I do?

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

  • How to edit a shared file on my Mac?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to edit a shared file on my Mac?
    I know it is possible on the web, using Numbers/Pages/Keynote for iCloud Beta. But I was wondering if it is also possible to download and edit the file.
    I think it is also important that the file automatically updates himself when edited on the Mac, so the other user could see my changes.
    So I don't have to download the file --> edit it --> upload the file.
    Hopefully there is a solution for this problem, otherwise I'm hoping this will come in the near-future!
    Kind regards,
    Berend

    How do I use a flash drive on my mac
    Since most flash drives are formatted for PC's rather than Macs, if you plan to use it only with a Mac, when it's plugged in, you can click on it in Disk Utility and partition it GUID and Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note that if you've already got files stored on it, partitioning it will erase them.

  • Why are shared files not visible when iPhone4S connected to iTunes?

    What makes this problem mysterious is that I have exactly the same settings on the same or eqivalent Apps on iPad2 and iTunes4S but when my iPhone is connected to my iTunes (running on my PC under Win7) it shows no files on Apps like Pages, iBooks, Keynote, and Print-n-share.  Each of these Apps has files and each shows files when  I connect my iPad2.   I cannot export or import filesto/from itunes and iphone because the list of files inside the Apps is not visible in itunes. 
    PS I CAN, btw, export and import files by using the amazing App and service "DropBox" which is the only route in and out of my iPhone (I am not ready to use iCloud).

    This is not a reply but an addition.  While searching for answers as to why "Shared" files in original Apps in my iPhone4S did not appear on itunes I came across a similar discussion on another Forum in which Jim described in some detail how to get the two devices (my iPhone 4S and my iPad2) to recognize similar embedded files in similar Apps.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16690584#16690584
    I went through this promising procedure but it did not help.  Since the two devices are independent (I think -- they are on the same accoubt but ar different devices) I should be able to make them work the same way with regard to what is seem in iTune.

  • I want to send PDF files to icloud from my PC , from  icloud to my iPad , then deleate file in icloud

    I have a PC Windows 7 which I want to share files,PDF, with on my iPad Air WiFi New sept 2014,using iCloud, After sharing I want to erase the files from iCloud.  Later I want to share some files, PDF, from my iPad air back to my windows 7 PC.  Then again erase from icloud or iTunes, which ever is used. 

    That type of sharing between your PC and iOS devices using iCloud isn't possible until iCloud Drive is introduced later this year.  (It may be available for your iPad next week with the introduction of iOS 8, but the ability to access is on your PC may not be possible until OS X Mavericks is introduced later this year.)

  • HELP with sharing ical in icloud

    I desperately need to share the same calendar to two kinds of people. I hace a person who has a .mac account that has to able to edit my calendar. And I have others who don't have a .mac account and need only to see the calendar.
    When I go to that particular calendar in ical or in icloud (on the web) and click on the litlle "sync" icon, it gives me a dialog with the name of the person that has the .mac account. However, I can't find a way to share the same calendar but justa as a subscription.
    I cannot beleive how difficult Apple has made this for us users.
    Thanks

    Ok first of all, go in the app store and find a free app that backs up your contacts. The one I used is My Contacts Backup (Globile). Use it to backup your contacts, and email the file to yourself. Now disable Icloud on all the phones. One of your phones can keep using the apple ID you have shared as your icloud ID, the other users will have to create new apple id's to use with icloud and gamecenter. They can still use your apple ID strictly in the app store so that you can share purchases, but that way each of you will have your own sync backup. Once you do that just open the file that you emailed yourself with that contact app, and it will restore your contacts (make sure the app is still on your phone). Make sure the contacts you restored are the ones only you want to use, clean out any that may have synced over earlier from the other users, and then turn on icloud to back them up.

  • Where do I store my iDisk shared documents on iCloud?

    Mobileme states that I need to remove iDisk files before June 30th but, Where do I store my iDisk shared documents on iCloud?
    As a loyal user and paid subscriber of mobileme since inception, I'm a bit confused.

    Unfortunately, iCloud  does not offer an alternative to MobileMe's iDisk. You will need to find a third-party solution such as dropbox or sugarsync.

    You will require the assistance of Apple, and they will require proof. Go to an Apple Store and ask them,

  • How do I get iTunes on a new computer to recognize and use my files on the local drive?  My music files on iCloud have been recognized.

    My old computer failed.  All files, including iTunes were backed up on a separate drive.  All files have been loaded on the new computer.  iTunes was reloaded, and recognizes all files on iCloud, but does not link to the files on the computer.  How can I re-establish that linkage?

    Hello jzinser,
    I am not sure on how you reset up your iTunes library on your new computer. If you copied the music by dragging on top of iTunes, then the media would have been put into the proper location. If you have the media copied to your computer and have not established in iTunes where it sits, then you will need to do that within the preferences in iTunes. Take a look at the articles below for more information to help sort this out.

  • Sharing files with Creative cloud for teams

    HI,
    I am looking at getting creative cloud for teams, but I want to keep our existing CS suite users who are already on maintenance plans.
    Can I share files on the creative cloud  between these two types of users?
    Does Adobe Bridge see these files ?
    Is there any way of doing version control ?
    We are also worried about this
    "If a team member leaves the company, what happens to their files stored in Creative Cloud?
    The IP is associated with the individual, not the company. The individual will have a 90-day grace period to delete their files."
    Also we are in Australia and we are concerned about the speed. Can anyone advise what the speed is like ?
    rgds Renovator

    Anyone who signs up for the Creative Cloud can share files. You do not need to be a Creative Cloud member to view a shared file, only to do the sharing.
    Adobe Bridge does not see the files unless you use Creative Cloud Connection to sync the files to your local computer.
    There is no version control yet. It is on our road map.
    Being in Australia should not be an issue, but I will let other customers from Australia comment.

  • When I download a Numbers file from iCloud to my Mac, it isn't the latest version.

    Today I worked on a Numbers file on my iPad 2 from 4:40 pm to 6:30 pm. A few hours later, when I tried to download the file from iCloud to my Mac, none of today's changes appeared. When I looked at it again on the iPad, on the main Numbers page where you choose the file you want, it showed a time of 4:43 pm associated with the file. However, when I opened it, the two hours of work was still there even though the time was off. I tried sending the file as an email and when I opened the email attachment on my Mac, all of today's changes were there. So the new changes are captured when emailing a file but not when downloading it.
    It almost seems as if the file hasn't made it off the iPad and into iCloud, but I can't find any information on ways to force that or know if it's been done.

    Two possible problems. <br />
    1. BlackBoard never supports the latest version of Firefox, for a few reasons. Some schools don't run the latest version of BlackBoard Vista or Campus Edition. Also, BlackBoard upgrades seem to be tied to the "school year" cycle, the changes they make to improve and update their software seem to be rolled out for the fall term so that changes aren't being made during the normal "school year" and possibly causing problems for the schools. That also may be a function of their contract / payment cycles with the schools that use their programs.
    http://www2.blackboard.com/tuneup/viewpage?name=tuneup_browser_tuneup_windows_firefox <br />
    Select the link for the version of WebCT Vista or Campus Edition ''(version info is usually at the bottom of each page, in the footer)'' that your school is using, then see which version of Firefox is compatible.
    Depending upon which version of WebCT your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.6.x, Firefox 3.5.x, or Firefox 3.0.x when accessing the Blackboard site.
    My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 4.0.1 for all other web browsing. <br />
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy
    2. Firefox uses a Plugin ( you have Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator installed) to open files that aren't "internet files", like word processing documents. <br />
    I can't help you directly with Office, as I use Open Office, but there should be a preference for that Plugin within your Office preferences or options under something like Internet, to have those files '''Display documents in browser'''. <br />
    Or see this to make sure you have your "file type" set correctly. <br />

  • Windows 7 computers asking for network password to access shared files and printers on Windows XP PRO computer.

    I have a network of 10 computers configured as peer-to-peer work group. I have upgraded one of the ten from Windows XP PRO to Windows 7 PRO. The other nine computers are all running XP PRO. AS near as I can tell they are all configured the same. I have the
    same user and same passwords on all computers. One of XP computers is used as a print server. The Windows 7 computer initially was able to access shared files and printers on all XP machines with out requesting a network password.
    Suddenly, the Win 7 computer began requesting a network password to access the shared files and printers on the XP print server. It will not accept any of the user names or passwords (all administrators on both machines with identical names and passwords.)
    The Win 7 computer has no problem accessing the shared files on the other XP machines. It can even access shared printers in a different work group. Apparently something has changed but I'm at my wits end trying to figure what changed on either the Windows
    7 machine or the print server XP machine.
    I would appreciate any help. Thank you

    Hi,
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    1.   
    Disable simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer:
    How to disable simple file sharing and how to set
    permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP
    2.   
    On the Windows 7 computer, go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings” and ensure that the
    following items are turned ON:
    Network Discovery
    File and printer sharing
    And this one is OFF:
    Password protected sharing
    3.   
    Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works.
    In addition,
    I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

  • I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

    I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
    I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems.  Is this just a glitch?  The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

    Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
    I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.
