Canonical open-source previous UbuntuOne online storage service

Canonical eventually opened up the Ubuntu one file synchronization online service, which was closed in 2014. The cloud computing synchronization and collaboration service UbuntuOne was released before Canonical, but was disabled in April 2014.

Canonical eventually opened up the Ubuntu One file synchronization online service, which was closed in 2014, http://www.linuxidc.com/linux/2014-06/102887.htm, following the AGPLv3 protocol. Anyone can freely view and use this source code.

Before Canonical, the cloud computing synchronization and collaboration service Ubuntu One was released, but the Ubuntu One online storage solution was disabled in April 2014. This is because this service has not met their expected standards, and other companies, such as Dropbox, do better in this regard. In fact, these online storage services cost too much and do not get a corresponding return.

When they terminated the service, they planned to open the source code for Ubuntu One file synchronization. Now they finally open the file synchronization service for Ubuntu One!

Ubuntu One is not completely closed.

Many users think that Canonical disabled Ubuntu One last year, but in fact it only disabled some of the services, online storage and music functions. Ubuntu One still provides the login service, making efforts for all parts of the ecosystem, such as Ubuntu Touch.

"Today, we are honored to open source the largest part of the Ubuntu One file synchronization service. The code we open is the server that the Desktop client connects to when synchronizing local or remote modifications. These code is the result of innovation and efforts over the past few years. It solves various expansion challenges and is based on other components we have built. The Ubuntu One file synchronization service is released based on the AGPLv3 protocol for developers to view, fork, and use. "
