Conceptually awesome. Poorly delivered. Someone do this right and you will be making money.

What I'd like: Personal files/certs etc. on my local HD, then I log in to my cloud mac and it uses my local HD files as an external hard drive of sorts. or even uses dropbox for my files. Is this possible?



I was going to try it out, but once you've registered, you have to raise a support ticket to ask them to put a free trial on your account.

Click New Support Ticket -> MacinCloud Trial -> Sales, and request for a trial. Please attach a note and let us know if you have any specific needs.

Um, no, sorry. I don't have that much patience. Honestly this could be a great service for Windows-based web developers who just need a few hours on a Mac now and then for testing, but the signup process needs to be instant.


If you scroll down to the "Where can I save my files?" section they do mention support for dropbox and other cloud based file storage systems.
