If you haven’t heard of Ubuntu One, it’s kind of similar to Dropbox. Except, its capacity is bigger than Dropbox (5 GB of Ubuntu One vs 2 GB of Dropbox). today, for the very first time, I activate Ubuntu One on my Ubuntu Precise (previously I activate it already on Fedora Beefy + I add Dropbox too). It’s so easy to use. just click the Ubuntu One icon on the Unity Launcher and let the wizard install it for you. the one time when you have to get involved during installation is when you have to enter your password in order to install this software (pretty standard for a Linux Distro, this is one of many big differences between Linux Distros and Windows Whatever).
After the installation, the wizard will ask you which folder to be synch-ed and done! You can also drag-and-drop files to Ubuntu One folder that the wizard created during the installation. Much like Dropbox. But with the power of Ubuntu and Canonical.
According to Ubuntu One’s official site (http://one.ubuntu.com), currently Ubuntu One is available not only on Linux, but also on Windows, Mac, iOS, and of course Ubuntu’s mobile cousin, Android.
Ubuntu One is fun to use. Moreover, Canonical got a promo. You can get additional 500 MB or so by referring Ubuntu One to your friends. Your storage can be upgraded up to 20 GB. Impressive eh? Besides, this promo also benefit both you and your friend. When your friend joins Ubuntu One by clicking on your refferal link, BOTH of you will get the additional 500 MB.
