7.4   How can I put my library on my iPhone?

EagleFiler stores your files in standard formats, and the iPhone OS can read most of them. There are several different ways to store your library so that it can be shared between a Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Cloud Storage and Provider

You can store your EagleFiler library on your Mac, sync it with the cloud, and then access it from one of these apps:

• Dropbox. Recommended. The syncing is simple and fast. Free for up to 2 GB. Please see the notes about using Dropbox with EagleFiler.

• MobileMe iDisk. Apple’s solution requires a MobileMe account, and the syncing is slower than with Dropbox. Be sure to turn on iDisk syncing.

• SugarSync is a cloud service that’s similar to Dropbox but with a few drawbacks.
