iDisk on Ubuntu (Gnome) Linux

I’ve been working on my old laptop while I’m waiting for a new keyboard for my mac. And because it’s fun to play with ubuntu linux. I found a way to add my iDisk. This is a little more geeky than the average post here, but it needed to be on the web in case someone else got stuck.

  1. Go to the Places Menu
  2. Choose Connect to Server
  3. Select Service type: WebDAV
  4. Enter Server: idisk.mac.com
  5. enter your username
  6. Leave the other fields blank, or enter in a folder (you might need your username there)
  7. Press Connect

TODO: Figure out a way to synch a local folder to the iDisk (feel free to comment!)

    Hi, just thought I’d tell you want worked for me:

    folder:
    User Name :

    Crap… In my above post, I user the word ‘yourusername’ in tags and it didnt show up… so here it is again:

    Server: idisk.mac.com
    folder: yourusername
    User Name : yourusername

    the folder must match your user name

    to do the same on Kubuntu:

    open “Remote Places” from System Menu on KDE taskbar;
    (or navigate to ‘system:remote’ as the URL in konqueror)

    click “Add a Network Folder”
