Introduction

Ubuntu One is a suite of online services from Canonical. The service enables users to store and sync files online and between computers and share files and folders with others using file synchronization. Unlike the traditional storage application and service, what sets Ubuntu One apart is additional features like the integration with other services. Ubuntu One offers integration with Evolution for syncing contacts and with Tomboy for notes due to the access to the local CouchDB instance. Further possibilities include the capability of editing the contacts, as well as the Tomboy notes, online via the Ubuntu One Web interface.

TechnicalDetails

For a detailed and technical explanation of some of the pieces that make Ubuntu One click here.

Note: Because the "Ubuntu One" branding is non-specific and because most of the components do not have succinct official names, we'll use shorter (unique) names to succinctly identify each of the components and layers. You can find a table mapping these simple names to download packages and URLs here. (See the "storagefs" section for just how long-winded and suboptimal these actual names can get).

"Ubunet" was the original codename for the online services initiative (the Canonical department itself is called "Online Services"), and is the name of the Launchpad project encompassing the backend components (there is also a "control tower" group which is used when landing branches).
