Almost perfect – iStorage 2 HD for FTP, WebDAV, Dropbox, MS Skydrive and Cloud Review

a) Absolutely great that it uses webdav to mount its storage space on your mac. Love it. I can treat it just like a wireless hard drive. None of the other apps I've seen can do that. Made it well worth the $6. b) It isn't clear if you can make it use https (secure) instead of http. That's a must have feature for anyone who cares about their files. This is the only reason I didn't give it a 5/5, and it's a VERY important thing to have. c) renaming a folder, while mounted on the mac, didn't work. That could be an issue in the long run. Please fix. Not sure if it also applies to files or not. d) when I mounted my iDisk/MobileMe account, it showed all of my top level directories twice. Not sure why. e) hopefully, once iOS4 is on the iPad (with multi-tasking), it will be able to run in the background. Right now, it wont. So, you can't do other things on the iPad while using it for mounted storage. f) it would be nice if the iPad showed up in the "all network devices" part of the finder side panel. It might need to be a Rendevous device for that to happen or maybe it needs to run on standard http/https ports? -- any chance that can be done?
