iDisk File Share feature now activated via MobileMe

If you're having trouble sending a large file via e-mail, or have been waiting for an easy way to share files via iDisk, the MobileMe team has announced that iDisk's Share File command is now active.

All you have to do is upload a file anywhere on your iDisk—it doesn't have to be in the Public folder. In the iDisk Web app, select the file, and click "Share..." You'll get a dialog box (like the one above) that details the URL the file is accessible from. You can also send a link via e-mail by entering in e-mail addresses (which auto-complete from your Address Book) and adding a message. And, you can set a limit for how long the link is active as well as set a password to protect the file from prying eyes. If you elect to send the link to the file via e-mail, MobileMe sends out a nicely formatted e-mail with your message, details about the file, and a link to click and download it.
