When publishing files to ubuntu one I have an issue, some files have the green/blue circling arrows symbolising that they are published okay and as such I can copy public URL’s, though some have these arrows greyed out with what appears to be an exclamation point in a small square in the centre. I assume this is a problem but where can I find out what the problem is? A right click merely has the relevant options greyed out. what gives? -C

Well, Windows have that disembodied hand thing for shared folders…

By the way, awesome demonstration (Feature-wise and presentation-wise).

Gregory, We may put a badge/emblem on files shared publicly in a future release. The trick is going to be to have it make sense along with the other emblems. -Joshua

Is there going to be some sort of badge on the icons of files and folders shared with this service eventually? It would be nice to be able to see what’s shared at a glance.

Very nice features… And I love also the new web interface for files, but it lacks of the ordering option: I would like to order my files by uploaded date or by size like it was possible before.

Thanks for your precious work anyway.

I don’t know about syncing my entire /home folder. My music collection alone surpasses the 50 GB Ubuntu One service. I also have a lot of pictures and movies. Ubuntu One would need to come up with a 500 GB service if I ever wanted to sync my hard drive. Syncing user settings would be useful. The Ubuntu One Preferences window needs an option under the Services tab for syncing user settings. The trick is getting it to know what’s user settings and what’s not. I have one hidden folder that begins with a . that I wouldn’t want synced.

Why not just sync your entire /home/ directory so even your settings, etc. are all available from multiple computers?

I have a 1Tb home folder – not a good idea.

Using and learning Ubuntu is paying off because of you guys, pls. keep the bugs level down.

@dragonbite: You may want to think about how much bandwidth would be used if EVERYTHING was synced like that.
