ANy suggestions for the best way to share Dcouments (Word, PDF and XL) on a home network with Macs. We have iCloud but do not want to put some of our docs on there for concern over security (any informed pushback on that welcome by the way). We also use an iPad and iPhone so if possible good to be able t acces through those platform while relising that Office docs will need to be converted with limitations.
Many thanks!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
iCloud really isn't good for sharing documents other than iWork documents, and even then I don't really like it. You could use Dropbox instead, which works very well. Or if the data you want to share is too sensitive to share through a third-party, set up a NAS (network-attached storage) device. This could be as simple as an external hard drive connected to your wireless router. If you have an Apple AirPort router, that's very easy to set up. Then, you just connect to that drive over the wireless network to access the stuff that's on it.
