Just one of those thoughts that occur in the morning under the shower…
My webhost offers unlimited accounts and is very much pro-Linux. In one of their newsletters, they explain that massive back-ups are actually excluded from their conditions, but they offer 50GB free personal backup space for that purpose. Such space could become accessible through Ubuntu One on their servers. Benefits:
- Canonical negotiates free U-one server space and/or $’s
- Host gets great exposure and promotion
- User gets loads of cloud-space with hosting services
Or is this too good to be true?

What I miss is the green check mark or blue processing symbols that Dropbox has. I want to know on my computer if the file is synced up or not, without having to log in to a website to check.

I’m not sure I see any advantages to Ubuntu One for me over dropbox. I’m not a fan of tomboy nor do I use Evolution for mail/contacts.

I’m also a fan of Dropbox’s photo gallery, which has no such equivalent in Ubuntu One, yet.

Add to it that Dropbox does work with windows and mac (I can refer my friends who are on those platforms and get added space to my account!) and the rather trivial point of the name reminding me indirectly of Harrison Ford and I just can’t find a compelling reason to keep it installed, or to not remove it when I help a friend install.

@LS:

Are you a paying UbuntuOne customer?

As a full time Ubuntu user across several machines, I’m perfect happy with Ubuntu one. If the goal is just to increase Ubuntu user share- then I see no reason to enable this service for Windows or Apple users. Keep the Ubuntu name for sure!

Why should Canonical open source the UbuntuOne server code? It’s like complaining that $RANDOM other big site that you use doesn’t open source its code (including all of google, sourceforge, etc.).

Also, the client side is open source, so if people want it, it’s possible to port it to Windows, Mac OS X & other operating systems. It’s not comparable with how e.g. Microsoft & Apple actively try to *block* other applications on their services.

The comparison with Dropbox might not be entirely right either, as I understand UbuntuOne is supposed to include additional services in the future.

PS: like many people I would have been happier if this service won’t use “Ubuntu” in its name, but that’s another story.

Another solid user of Dropbox, I have several machines (between physical, dual-boots and vm’s) with diferent OS’s (XP, Win7,Ubuntu,Xubuntu) synced with no problems. For now I see no reason to move to UbuntuOne.

Another thing that keeps me using Dropbox too is that you get much more space for the money.
