My sweetie is not too fond of the idea of me creating and storing Pages docs (the Mac version of Word) on her laptop, now our only computer; she's worried about it filling up etc. (I love that woman, oh how I do, but....ever seen the scene in the movie The Kids Are Alright re: "micromanaging"? That's pretty much us.)

So I'd like to have a place where I can create, edit and store documents online and store them there, now that I've just filled up another notebook with fic drafts and meta notes; something along the lines of Photobucket, but for documents rather than photos.


FYI: the simpler the better. I've heard of iCloud and still have no idea what it is (despite <lj user=comlodge>'s careful explanation of it); I'm pretty computer savvy in some ways but most of y'all are way ahead of me in a lot of other areas. Thanks muchly!

I've tried your instructions a few times (thanks muchly!) I'm not finding an option for iCloud (perhaps its because this computer was purchased in '09 or so and has an older operating system?) There's iWeb but that's set up for blog posts and such. (Admittedly a good option.)

Maybe I need to google this or call the apple store?

If this is an '09 Mac, this may have something to do with your operating system. You may need to update it. I'd try apple support, because icloud is worth it.

Duly noted! I'll give it a try, thank you. (I have to be careful with what I download or change on the laptop because it's not mine, it's my sweetie's, which I use by-her-leave.)
