I keep hearing that iCloud is now going to offer 20gb data storage for a price (19.95/yr) to essentially replace the functionality of iDisk - Is this true ?
If not, what does it take to make one of myy systems at a remote location to act like an iDisk where I can store any kind of data as i did with iDisk ?
Help of any kind would be appreciated.

Mac Pro, iOS 5.1.1, iDisk vs iCloud (data storage)
iCloud storage does not offer iDisk-like functionality at all.
There is no iDisk like feature in iCloud.
You can use a seperate third-party cloud file storage system such as Dropbox or SugarSync.
No, there is no replacement for iDisk. There are many third-party substitutes such as SugarSync, ADrive, and MediaFire. You will find many more if you do a little searching.

Hi
When idisk was rolled to the graveyard I started to look for an alternative.
Dropbox is the solution for me. It works perfect. Also for sharing with a community, also including non-Mac users.
I has been a great fan of idisk and mobileme. I'm still not sure what Apples plan for icloud is. Its great that we can sync a lot of stuff between devices. But what about all our important pages/numbers and keynote documents.
I think Apple should put more attention to get this done right.

But what about all our important pages/numbers and keynote documents.
In Mountain Lion (due this summer), you will be able to save such documents directly from the app on your Mac to iCloud, and have them instantly available to your iOS devices.

Yeah, I saw that but I work on multiple projects (transactions and need documents pertaining to each different transaction. iDisk gave me the familiar folder structure to allow that. Does/will Lion or Mountain Goat do that?
