Many people may already know that Ubuntu One, a Beta online storage website, has recently been released ". This service looks very similar to other popular online storage websites, like DropBox. The current situation is that the charges for Ubuntu One (Professional Edition) are higher than those for Dropbox, And the DropBox client itself supports Linux. Some people think that using Ubuntu as a client is meaningless. However, if you recognize the following facts, you may change your mind:

1) not just backup: online storage and file synchronization are only One aspect of Ubuntu One. Although it is still in Beta, One of the ultimate goals of Ubuntu One is to integrate into each program so that users can easily back up, store, retrieve, or share specific information with others. Everything is similar to MobileMe.

2) cloud computing is the Future: RMS may not like it, but in the future, desktop operating systems will provide some form of cloud services with desktop clients. Therefore, mainstream Linux versions such as Ubuntu must be changed in evolution. There are many ways to expand new users of the Linux release, and we also need to take positive steps to make users use their computers in a synchronous manner.

3) Future Ubuntu Development Fund: perhaps the most important thing for Cononical is to raise funds from different channels for future Ubuntu development. Ubuntu is becoming more and more popular, and money is spent for this purpose. We raise funds by selling cups, T-shirts, or providing paid support services, but this is not enough. Ubuntu is still supported by Mark Shuttleworth's initial 10 million emergency funds. If the Ubuntu One service can have enough paying users, the future development of Ubuntu will have a financial source. Maybe this is a win-win outcome for you and me. Http://ubuntuone.cn
