HT5527 Is it possible to use iCloud like Dropbox?

I have loads of storage on iCloud, but the use seems limited?
Is it possible to use iCloud like Dropbox, or the erstwhile MobileMe, to store Microsoft Office documents, photos et al for genernal access over the internet?
Thank you

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iCloud isn't like Dropbox. However, you can store iCloud-compatible app documents on iCloud, so in that case, you can use it like Dropbox, but you will need that app to access to your files.
If you want iCloud to store files, use another service like Dropbox or SkyDrive. They are better for that purpose. iCloud is focused on data sync between iPhones, iPads, iPods touch, Macs and PCs

Is it possible to use iCloud storage for videos

Is it possible to use iCloud storage for videos. I ran out of 16 gig storage on my iPad.

You can try cloud storage like Sugarsync, Dropbox or Box.com

Can I use iCloud like a mass storage device - pc free

I am living on a boat and I am using my iPad w a camera connector kit. Can I back up photos that won't all fit on my iPads internal memory(16G), using iCloud like an external hard drive? I don't have a pc w me and don't want one.

With iCloud and photo stream your photos are automatically syced to the cloud, but the photos will only stay in the cloud for 30 days which is enough time by Apple's standards to download them from the cloud to a mac or pc so I guess the answer to your question would be no, you cant use iCloud as a mass storage device.

[SOLVED]:Is it possible to use functions like decode in 'setWhereClause()'?

Hello,
My requirement is that I have 2 poplists - Country and States.
When I select a country,the corresponding states of that country should get populated in the states poplist.
The approach I took is that :
I selected firePartialAction as ActionType in Country poplist. Then I called a function to VOImpl of StatesVO and set the where clause there.
Now I was thinking about using decode as there is no direct connection between the CountryVO and StatesVO.
Is it possible to use functions like decode in 'setWhereClause()'?
For Example:
setWhereClause("DECODE(LOOKUP_TYPE,'XXC_IND_STATES','IND','XXC_US_STATES','US') = :1");
setWhereClauseParam(0,Country);
executeQuery();
When I tried running the page,no error was given but when the country poplist was changed - there is no change in states poplist.
If its not possible to use decode in setWhereClause(), could you please guide me as to how I can write a query to retrieve a value from a table and store it in a variable 'A'- so that I can pass that variable 'A' in setWhereClauseParam function .

That kewl, but for u knowledge u can add anything in ur where clause of query through ur code in Voimpl class. It is even possible to do change entire query, see Voimpl class methods in javadoc.

Ist it possible to use icloud with iphone3g

ist it possible to use icloud with iphone3g

The only formally supported thing is manually setting up an iCloud mail account. Even though Find My Phone will seemingly connect my iPhone 3G doesn't show up as it being connected through the iCloud web site.

Is it possible to use iCloud between a MBA with Lion and a iMac with snow leopard?

I have an iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and an MBA with Mac OS X 10.7.2. I want to use iCloud to synchronise my pages documents, my calendar and adressbook between the two. Is that possible?

icloud for snow leopard does work if you do the following:
Go to iCal preferences.
Set up new account.
Account Type: CalDAV
User Name: Your MobileMe / iCloud email address
Password: Your password for above
Server Address: p06-caldav.icloud.com

Is it possible to use Arch like a source-based distro?

I installed Gentoo on a spare box recently, and rather liked the idea of a source-based distribution. It's nice to think that the natively compiled code is optimized for my processor, even though even many Gentooists admit that the practical performance gains are minimal. However, Gentoo is less KISS-oriented and less bleeding edge than Arch, and I love Arch too much to switch anyway. I was wondering if one could recompile an entire Arch system using processor-specific optimizations like Gentoo, and maybe even have some equivalent of Gentoo USE flags? I can't manually recompile every package, and then do it again every time there's an upgrade - that would be too tedious. So, is there some automated method - to essentially use Arch like a source-based distribution? Can ABS help, or maybe a community-contributed tool? And finally, for a source-based and yet Arch-like distribution, what do you guys think of CRUX? Given that their documentation and community is much smaller than ours, is it very bothersome to install and maintain a desktop system using CRUX?

Rebuild everything from source:

Build all available upgrade from source, including dependencies:
bauerbill --build-all -Syu
Install new package by building from source, including dependencies:
bauerbill --build-all -S <pkgname>
Bauerbill also provides an "AutoPatch" option that enables you automatically apply patches to PKGBUILDs and install files when building from source so you only have to edit a PKGBUILD once.
*edit*
Of course, you could simply enable "BuildAll" in the configuration file and skip the flag.
@Xyne
So bauerbill will build all the deps for packages from source too [dependency resolution] and build from source packages from groups [ex. xorg, gnome, kde, xfce4, etc]?? I'm having a hell of a time with pacbuilder as it's not as functional as I had hoped, so I am thinking of using bauerbill, if it does what I need or is actually functional as pacbuilder but more functional [deps, patching, etc] then i'll use it exclusively! Thanks for any help.

Can i use iCloud like idisk

Will iCloud allow me to access my space in the cloud to use like I did with iDisk? I like to be able to upload files so others can download them. If that part of the iCloud is missing, it would be a huge bummer.

No: iCloud provides nothing like this facility. There are other services which may be suitable - this page examines some options:

Is it possible to use format like X12 in PI 7.0 ?

I would like to know, does PI 7.0 supports ebXML (Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language) and X12 EDI?

Hi Sonal,
you can use third party adapter like (Seeburger EDI adapter) for ANSI X12 conversions (it's sold through SAP service marketplace).
For EbXML you need also third party communication adapter (if you choose Seeburger it's sold directly from the company).
See link below:

Is it possible to use icloud in the same way as iDisk

I've found it works like the iDisk.

Is it possible to use icloud on macbook 10.6.8

Ik heb een macbook die draait onder 10.6.8
Is het mogelijk om icloud hierop te laten draaien? Ik vermoed van niet!
Eigenlijk heel raar dat je als trouwe apple gebruiker, ik heb namelijk 2 iphones (3GS en 4) en een ipad2,
moet upgraden naar het nieuwe Lion om icloud te gebruiken.
Op iedere simpele windows machine vista en windows 7 is het wel mogelijk.
Ik heb niet ge-updatet omdat ik lees dat er nog veel programma's niet probleemloos draaien.
Het zou niet meer dan normaal zijn dat apple de mogelijkheid geeft ook met 10.6.8 icloud te installeren.

Afraid not.
Lion (10.7.2) is a pre-requisite, which you would need to buy and download/install.

Can I use iCloud to store photos from iPhone and Mac?

I would like to use iCloud like Dropbox. I have photos that were taken on my iphone and photos that are loaded on my Mac from a camera that I would like to store in the Cloud. I would also like others be able to download their photos of this event to the same Icloud account. Is that possible?.

The only way you can store photos in iCloud indefinitely is if you add them to a shared stream. However, when you do this, the photo will be at a lower resolution than the originals.
My photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for all your devices to receive them. The only other photos in iCloud are camera roll photos stored in your backup. However, you can't see anything in the backup unless you restore it to your device. Also, if you delete the photos from your device and continue to back it up, the backup that contains the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and they wil be lost.

HT4962 is it possible for ipod touch (2nd generation) to use icloud?

Hi! I just received an iPad for my birthday and would like to use iCloud to link my calendars & music to my iPod Touch, but I am struggling. Have updated both devices and iTunes. iTunes reads "this version of iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version". I believe I have a second generation iPod. Is it possible to use iCloud with this?

Also see:

Can I use iCloud Drive like an external drive?

I would like to use iCloud Drive to store my stuff (docs, videos, photos etc) but I don't what these same files occupying storage on my local hard disk.
Is it possible to use iCloud Drive to upload files that I want stored there and then simply download them when needed. Or...
...can I be selective with which files/folders sync and which don't?

What's on your computer is a phantom listing. The only space it uses is that needed for the entries.
That's only for files from apps that can save directly to the iCloud drive, Numbers, Pages, etc. If you add local files/folders to the iCloud Drive folder locally
the files just get moved to that folder which is in the ~Library/Mobile Documents folder and remain on the hard drive while also being copied to the iCloud Driver servers for access by other devices. However, those files must be downloaded to the other devices before they can be viewed or used on that device. They can't be viewed or otherwise accessed at iCloud.com.
So if one were to drag several folders of files into the iCloud Drive window as shown above all it's doing is moving them to a different location and copying them to the iCloud drive. There's no saving of space on the hard drive.
