Ubuntu User Guide-how to switch to the Dropbox or Box cloud service after Ubuntu One is disabled

Canonical decided to shut down the cloud service of Ubuntu One. You may be looking for backup of other servers on your host, even though there are many cloud service providers, however, a small number of major service providers support Linux, including Ubuntu.

Dropbox fully supports Ubuntu. It has a client that integrates the ubuntu Desktop System and other notification bars. Box, the official Box.net can also support linux Through the WebDav protocol.

Since April 2, you have no access to the storage or music in Ubuntu One. The Ubuntu One service will no longer be included in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, And the Ubuntu One application will be removed from the Ubuntu, Google, and Apple app stores.

That is to say, we have lost this useful service in ubuntu. On the other hand, moving your data to a more stable and reputable network disk provider is a good choice.
