Icloud where is my idisk

I just signed up for your service after evaluating many others over the last few days. I upgraded to Lion and also had to find something before June 30 when the iDisk goes away. Mountain Lion for the Mac will work much the same when it is released later this year. Presumably it will eventually mount for me. I refuse to use Sync, which only works online, off line the file may not be the current version.

But Apple obviously offers essentially no help for webdav, and perhaps is intentionally screwing webdav up using the error, to force us to us iCloud. Those who use iCloud will just be building more and more documents which cannot be opened except by iCloud users who have bought the applications from Apple. Seen by some as a return of iDisk, the online file hosting service discontinued in mid, iCloud Drive will let iOS 8 and Yosemite users store files in the ether; allow system-wide access to documents on iOS, liberating those once held in app-specific silos; and store all photographs and videos automatically for sharing and access from any Apple device.

Essentially, iCloud Drive is Apple's response to Dropbox and other services, which show the cloud-based storage and its files in an OS's file manager. When users upgrade to iOS 8 today and after, they'll be offered to update iCloud's current storage structure to iCloud Drive.

Anyone who has tried OS X Yosemite, either the developer previews or the public beta, has seen the same message. Several iOS app developers told their customers not to take Apple up on the iCloud Drive offer, as doing so will make it impossible to synchronize with their apps on devices not running iOS 8, or with Macs running OS X Mavericks or earlier. The same problem will affect any iOS app -- including Apple's, such as the iWork trilogy of Pages, Numbers and Keynote -- which pre-iOS 8 used iCloud for synchronization, document-based or otherwise, between iPhones and iPads, and for syncing to the apps' counterparts on OS X.

Realmac and other developers advised customers to decline iCloud Drive by selecting "Not Now" from the pop-up that appears on their screens. Dropbox told users to refrain from deleting photos or videos from their devices "until you're sure that your stuff has backed up to Dropbox. That would be a real coup. On the other hand, now that iWork is working in the cloud, it stands a chance of competing with Google Docs and maybe even Microsoft Office Apple dished out huge servings of change on Monday — and not just for developers.

It will take awhile to absorb it all. I use iWeb for creating simple web pages, sharing photos, etc. With iCloud Drive, it would be a natural fit to bring iWeb back from the dead. With Dropbox, Google Drive etc. Do you know how that will work with iCloud drive? I used to keep a copy of my iDisk stuff on my HD, not so much with the bizarre web page coding. It would be best to duplicate it like Dropbox.
