MobileMe Soon To Have Big File Sharing

We have a family plan and, at this point, my daughter is using the me.com mail address as her primary e-mail (though she's more reachable by Facebook and text message, really), and I use it to sync my Macs. When I get an iPhone I'll probably be using Mobile Me to sync with it rather than Google now with my WM phone. I was using iDisk syncing, but that truly stinks, and I switched instead to DropBox for now.

I get all sorts of trouble with keychains that reappear after I delete them, and Dsahboard applets that do the same. Calendars, contacts, mail, Safari bookmarks seem to sync well, though. The Mobile Me team still has plenty of perfecting left to do.

MobileMe has been great so far and like you Vincent I only use it to sync my iPhone and Outlook on my laptop. File sharing would be fantastic not to mention a long awaited feature. I hope Apple continues to add features as the $99.00 price tag is a bit on the high side for many and is hard to justify such minimal features.
