• Most new users don't bother reading our rules. Here's the one that is ignored almost immediately upon signup: DO NOT ASK FOR FANEDIT LINKS PUBLICLY. First, read the FAQ. Seriously. What you want is there. You can also send a message to the editor. If that doesn't work THEN post in the Trade & Request forum. Anywhere else and it will be deleted and an infraction will be issued.
  • If this is your first time here please read our FAQ and Rules pages. They have some useful information that will get us all off on the right foot, especially our Own the Source rule. If you do not understand any of these rules send a private message to one of our staff for further details.

Has anyone switched to iCloud? If so, thoughts? Anyone using something else they like and care to share?

Eventually I need something online for backup and for streaming some multimedia content to other computers and mobile devices. But I also need something that I can upload files to with Internet hosting services. I'm not sure iCloud can do this last part.

I tried using iCloud with my iPhone 4s, iPad 2, PC and Mac. iCloud works fine on my PC and Mac, but completely locks up my iPhone and iPad. I've basically given up on it ever working, and now sync everything through Google and it actually works really well. For storage, you could use Dropbox which is sort of like iCloud or iDisk. If you want online backup your best bet is a service iDrive, Carbonite or Mozy but those have annual charges of $50 or so.

In a perfect world I would find something that is an all-in-one cloud services, backup, & file hosting service so I could also use it to host my fanedit files. That doesn't seem to exist yet. :(
