iFolder on Mac
Articles and Tips: qna

Q.
I have a customer asking me what the story is between iFolder and the Macintosh? More specifically:
As far as I know, we do not have a iFolder client for the Mac right now. Does anybody know if we intend to create such a client? I think that it would be great!
Is it also possible to access and use iFolder through Internet Explorer from a Mac client (thus, without using the iFolder client)? Will the Mac extensions be supported and preserved? (Assuming of course that iFolder resides on a volume supporting the Mac name space.)
Did anybody ever test this? Any feedback/comments?

Dear Maniac: I have successfully used the iFolder Web interface on a Macintosh running Mac OS9 and Internet Explorer 5.x. The earlier betas fell apart with Java errors, but the ifolder.i-login.net works fine. I haven't tested files with Mac names and extensions yet though (I'm not sure if the i-login.net iFolder server has the Mac name space loaded on it yet).
