Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu, yesterday opened an official beta for ‘Ubuntu One’, a free online storage and syncing solution.
Ubuntu One helps you store, sync and share
Ubuntu One adds a folder to your Ubuntu computer. Whatever is placed in it gets automatically backed up to the cloud.
However this is the nifty part: Ubuntu One lets you (or people you allow) to access it from any other computer. This means you could share work or photos with friends and family by all using the same folder, which is great!
Ubuntu One offers three key features: –
- Seamless integration with Ubuntu
- Sync files between multiple machines
- Access to your files away from your computers via the web
2GB of storage is on offer for free, or you can pay a monthly subscription to increase this to 10GB — a great price and a great way to support Ubuntu.
Ubuntu One is currently in invite only, however I imagine it will be available to all (as well as integrated into) this October’s Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala release.
