The Ubuntu Publisher Canonical is preparing a new Web service Ubuntuone to provide a cloud synchronization backup feature for Linux desktops, which is currently being developed and is expected to be available at the time of Ubuntu9.10 release in October.
At the start of the week canonical began inviting members of the Ubuntu community to participate in the Ubuntuone test, and the source code will soon be released under the Open Source License agreement. Ubuntuone will provide 2GB of free storage space, in addition to the user can be 10 dollars a month to obtain 10GB space service, engineer Elliotmurphy said Ubuntuone storage space fee plan is still not determined, this is only a provisional policy.
The personal folders stored on the Ubuntuone can be shared with other users, you only need to specify to share the user's email address, the user will be invited to mail, after the validation of the file will automatically appear in its "Sharedwithme" folder. Murphy says canonical has no plans to develop Windows and Mac OS x local ubuntuone clients.
