Not sure how suitable the iCloud is for sharing data with others as it is at present, it means sharing your Apple ID and PW with others who may be strangers.

That may well change as the iCloud develops and evolves.

While I like the ipad I would have sooner had a macbook.

I use Dropbox for that.

But you only get 2gb free with dropbox it's 5gb with iCloud

Fair point. I don't like to keep many images on the net at anyone time so 2gb is fine for me. I supply clients with a link to their dedicated folder, so they can view or download the imges...then delete files when they have been completed. Can you share a folder of images on iCloud? I was under the impression you have one password and that gives access to everything? Which of course isn't ideal when sharing the space with several customers.

Not as yet although there may be a public or restricted 'Guest' folder in the future as there is in the OS.

There are external services like dropbox for that type of transmission of files, I think Apple regard sending files to external clients as outside their scope of operation. But, who knows, if it makes a few dollars they might do something. Leave no stone unturned...
