iDisk is a service offered by Apple to all
MobileMe members that enables them to store their digital photos, movies and personal files online so they can be accessed remotely. With a standard subscription, MobileMe users receive a 20 GB iDisk.iDisk integrates with
Mac OS X , appearing as a network drive mounted automatically on the desktop.Mac OS X v10.3 through v10.5 can cache updates to an iDisk volume while offline and synchronize updates later. AnyWebDAV client can also access an iDisk volume.iDisk was, until 2002, free for all Mac OS X users through iTools, a service that could be considered the ancestor of .Mac.
