Ubuntu One and Cloud Space

Update on Ubuntu One

I am glad to say Ubuntu One is available in all the Ubuntu derivatives I have installed in my laptop, namely Pinguy and Vinux.

It took a long time for me to find where it is in the Menu List, the Ubuntu One is placed and it is under preferences.

In Pinguy it is in the Graphic Menu List in the bottom panel and moment you log in with Ubuntu One a folder is open in the left side panel. 

I have Dropbox downloaded / installed in Pinguy and that means I have  8 GiB of Cloud Space Free 5 in Ubuntu One and 3 in Dropbox. 

Now I can drop a DVD image of a Linux distribution in Ubuntu One to share with Linux friends.

In Ubuntu Unity one can at the time of installing Ubuntu One, the shared folder can be added to the left side panel which is a very nice Apple like feature. 

Thanks guys and girls of Ubuntu Community for doing wonderful things.

Not only Ubuntu is getting ready for the next phase of computing with Unity desktop it is also ready with cloud space.

Ubuntu has Ubuntu One, it’s built-in cloud file, both Client and Service, since Ubuntu 9.10 which was released in October 2009.

One does not need another cloud service if you are using Ubuntu.
There is also a distribution called CloudOS based on Ubuntu.

For those who prefer more storage, Ubuntu One Basic, the free service, has changed its name to Ubuntu One Free and it now comes with 5GiBs of free storage instead of 2GiBs.

If you opt for the paid Ubuntu One Music Streaming service in addition to music streaming, you’ll get an additional 20GBs of storage. 

For $3.99 a month that’s not bad.
Need more room?
It’s $2.99 a month for each fresh allotment of 20GBs.

On top of that there’s also now Ubuntu One file and music streaming clients for Android.

There’s also an Ubuntu One iPod/iPhone/iPad music streaming client.

Very soon iOS too.

This is what I call hit three birds with one stone.

So do not grumble saying Ubuntu has changed.

Yes it has changed for good with tablets in mind.

I am less and less reluctant to say no to Ubuntu now.

I have already installed Ubuntu 11.04 in my laptop.
