What do you like best about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?
In Mountain Lion, Sharing takes on a deeply personal touch, becoming an intuitive system-wide companion. Picture the Share button as your loyal friend, always by your side in the Finder, Safari, QuickTime, Quick Look, and soon, even in your favorite third-party apps once they catch up to the trend.
This Share button, which feels like it's everywhere (just look at it gracing Safari's toolbar), becomes your magical portal to effortlessly share the wonders of the web. Want to hold onto that captivating link you stumbled upon? Just reach for the Share button in Safari. Need to send an important document to a colleague? Your trusty Share button in Finder lets you whisk it away via email, Messages, or AirDrop. Sharing files with someone? With the Share button in your corner, it's a breeze.
But what about connecting your own devices, making them harmonize seamlessly? This is where iCloud enters your personal narrative.
One of Mountain Lion's most remarkable strides is its profound integration with iCloud, a suite of services that magically synchronizes your data across every device you own. iCloud takes the burden off your shoulders and ensures that your data is effortlessly organized across your various companions: your Mac at the office, your iPad at home, and your iPhone in your pocket. Thanks to iCloud, living with multiple devices becomes a symphony of seamless information sharing, always keeping you in sync with the latest updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
