The Virtual Side Of Me

I may be in the minority, but I have more than one .Mac account, so I frequently connect to different iDisks. And when I help friends and relatives with their computers, I sometimes connect to their iDisks using their login information.

OS X makes it easy to connect to your own iDisk—but what about connecting to an iDisk other than the one listed in the .Mac preference pane? You could go through the iDisk submenu in the Finder’s Go menu, or use the Finder’s Connect To Server command and type in the appropriate URL. But a better alternative is Arizona Software’s free iDiskMenu 1.1.1. iDiskMenu is a systemwide menu-bar item that lets you define shortcuts to iDisks, WebDAV servers, and FTP servers, and then easily connect to any of those remote volumes.
