iDisk Icon

Creating a copy of your iDisk on your computer

Your iDisk is personal storage space on Apple's Internet servers. You can create a copy of your iDisk on your computer so you can make changes to it at any time, even when you're not connected to the Internet.

Changes you make to the iDisk on your computer are synchronized with your iDisk on .Mac while you're connected to the Internet. To learn more about managing iDisk synchronization, click the link below.

  1. Open System Preferences and click .Mac.
  2. Click iDisk, and then click Start in the iDisk Syncing panel. You can select to sync automatically or manually.

After you close System Preferences, the iDisk icon on your desktop, in the sidebar at the left of a Finder window, and in a Save dialog represent the iDisk on your computer. You can use it even when you're not connected to the Internet.

If you change your iDisk storage amount, your local iDisk will be resized automatically.
