Jon, you can do that with Air Sharing Pro too, if you have an iDisk. Here’s what I do: I set up my iDisk to automatically keep a web folder synced with a folder on my computer. Then I go to my iDisk to look those documents from Air Sharing Pro. I’ve only had this app for a week now but it’s already part of my everyday work flow.

They say that Air Sharing Pro’s connection to your iDisk is even more secure than Finder’s connection to it is. It uses HTTPS (secure web connection); Finder uses plain old HTTP so anybody can sniff your data.

I’ve only used ASPro with iDisk, but it supports other WebDAV web storage servers too.

Mitalca, that’s silly. They’re still updating the original Air Sharing too. A new Air Sharing 1.1.2 update came out the day before Air Sharing Pro did.

When you get used to save your files and all the data on a USB flash drive, it becomes really simple and easy. You can find mane kinds of external encrypted USB drives, and you can be sure when you give it to someone that there are no leaks, as you can expect from a web-crypt model.

I use Air Sharing (the original free version) and it is a decent application – handy to put document on via wi-fi i.e. does what it says on the tin, but you have to pre-empt what you want which does not really work for me. To that end I also use a web application called smestorage – http://www.apple.com/webapps/productivity/mobilesmestorage.html. This is a service that works with box.net, Amazon S3, Mosso Cloud Files, Email, FTP and Gmail.

They way I work is that I back up my docs to directory via SMEStorage to Amazon S3. I back up my mail nightly and if I am out and about with just my phone and I need a doc or email I did not have the foresight to put on my phone via air sharing, I use SMEStorage. Even though it is a web app it can download and view docs and make them available offline via data url’s. More often I need access to an old email, and again it allows me to get it quickly – also if I need to share files I can do it all from my phone.

If I don’t have my phone I just go to an Internet cafe and login to the website and do the same or use their zoho integration to work on Docs, PPT’s, Excel etc.

The combination of Air Sharing and the SMEStorage web application have always worked well for me.

Ok, so I just take a program that many people downloaded for free, a while ago when I made a special offer to make my product popular.
I add it a couple minor features (nothing PRO), that would perfectly fit as new features of the original program, but if I change the name of it, and start charging $5, that just means no more free upgrades.
I’m a genius!! $$$
