iClouDrive is the easiest way to use your otherwise unused iCloud storage space for syncing files between your Macs.
iCloud's predecessor, MobileMe, had a feature called iDisk which allowed you to easily sync files between your Macs. For some strange reason, Apple killed this great feature when iCloud was released. iClouDrive brings this great feature back to your Macs, by creating a folder on your computer which is seamlessly synced using your iCloud account.
iClouDrive works in English, Spanish, French and German.

Great idea and I wish this young man success.

Don't forget to turn Gatekeeper back ON again after you first run iClouDrive.
(Gatekeeper is found in the Security and Privacy system preferences. Click the 'General' tab and change the radio button setting to 'Anywhere', then approve the change. You can leave this window open while you boot iClouDrive and perform the setup. Then turn Gatekeeper back to either of the two safety settings when you're finished).
As to whether iClouDrive actually WORKS on 10.7.5 after the setup, I have found no verification. I'm sitting here waiting for something to sync via iCloud from my 10.8 machine to my 10.7.5 machine with no luck. The syncing should be rapid but I'm getting nothing. This is even after a reboot of the 10.7.5 machine. If I do get it to actually work, I'll make another post here.

If you check out the obscure footnote, relevant to 10.7.5, at the end of the document linked below, you'll understand the serious iCloud limitations of 10.7.5:

Sorry Sebastian! I wish you had actually tested iClouDrive on 10.7.5. Not gonna work, according to all my research and testing!

Trouble is, when I do that, the "iClouDrive" folder is left in the "Mobile Documents" (aka iCloud) folder, which makes me wonder if I can safely delete that. Ugh.

Now the only way to get around it, is to delete it from the icloudrive and move it from the trash to another folder.

I'm Sebastian, the developer of iClouDrive. You should just be able to move files out of the iClouDrive folder as you would for any other folder, and there should be no need for using the Trash. Could you please try again to just move the file out of your iClouDrive folder?
If you still find that it doesn't work, please send me a message and I will try to resolve the issue for you: http://www.zibity.com/contact

Although you haven't been able to solve what seems to be a Finder problem.
Found a way around now! Thanx again!

So, just to make sure everyone's clear, you don't have to mess around with the trash to get files out of iClouDrive – you can move files into and out of iClouDrive just like you would with any other folder, except that sometimes you can't use the Finder sidebar to navigate to the folder.
I hope that Frankvh will increase his star rating to reflect this.

I would love to and I was meaning to, but I can't figure out how I can change the ratings....... (Sorry....) If I know I will change it immediately! You deserve it!!!

I am surprised Sebastian, the developer, has not contacted you here. Therefore, I just wrote to him with the workaround. He was aware of this workaround for another app of his and I wish he had let people know about it working with iClouDrive as well.
As for whether the iCloud folder it sets up actually works, I don't know. I'm sitting here waiting for an actual sync with no success. If I do get it to work, I'll be posting a review above with details.

IOW: Forget about getting iClouDrive to actually work on 10.7.5. Not gonna happen, specifically because of the meagre support for iCloud Apple provide in 10.7.5.

Fab simple app! It the idea which is perfect!

Unfortunately at this time it doesn't seem possible to get Spotlight to index the folder. I'll investigate this further.
Thanks,
Sebastian
