is it possible to store your freeway files on idisk and access them from various computers to work on them?

Possible, yes. Recommended, not really. Save times are murder!

The files are relatively small and the save times were very quick - I now get an “end of file” error - sent in the file to Softpress and have not gotten it back yet - anxiously awaiting its recovery - it seems that my “backup” was from the night before and not saved after morning revisions, although I saved it frequently during the work flow

Not recommended - iDisk is too slow. Not sure if Apple’s proposed new server farm in North Carolina will improve things in the future.

If all you are doing is copying the original file plus the published folder as a backup to iDisk, and the upload time does not bother you, then sure you can. You cannot use it as a direct save destination however as it is waaaaaaaaaay too slow.

no lag in save time, just a “end of file” error that now ruined all my work

If there was no time lag it probably means that the end of file is
all it ever saved.
