or shared workgroups or as a public server for some of your clients.
You do have the administrative control over these accounts.

to store and share your personal files, backup important files, and
be able to work on you files from any location then I(2) Drive Personal
account or I(2) Drive Personal with WebDAV account is the right account
for you. I(2) Drive WebDAV server allow you to also map a drive as
in the case of Windows or mount a drive as in the case of Mac and
Linux operating systems. With WebDAV you can also edit files remotely. |

This depends on your system and in Windows the
type of file you are trying to edit.

Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Dreamweaver, and
many more. There are also some WebDAV client tools that allow you
to edit any file type. Please contact us to see if there is support
for your software.
Here is a tip: For editing an existing
file or saving a new file from MS Word or Excel even if you have
not setup the WebDAV on your Windows system. From the "File" menu
select "Open" and in the "File name" enter http://webdav.i2drive.com/I2%20Drive
and hit Enter. You can then select a file to open or save your
current file.

| Q: |
Can I host and Podcast my files stored on I(2) Drive? |
| A: |

creating the direct link give your clients the Podcast URL.
Here is a tip for advance users that want to Podcast multiple files
stored.
- Create direct links to all the files that you want to be included
in your Podcast and make a note of each files URL.

- Edit that XML file and for each one of the direct links you
created add an enclosure section in that EXL file.

a direct link to that file (use the open file option). Then you
can provide that link to your clients to subscribe to your Podcast.
