Canonical Is Shutting Down Ubuntu One

Ha ha ha ha ha! Well of course they lost the bloody battle! Other cloud storage providers allowed you to actually store the files there. In Ubuntu One, files are only syncronised (so if you delete them of your drive, they are deleted on the cloud too), which is useless to me (can't even use it for backup)...

They CAN'T shut down Ubuntu, as it will run with or without support

Before expanding my storage, I started setting up machines to use Ubuntu One. First I got some problems with Windows, but I let it pass. Than I've tried installing on my Debian machine, didn't even manage to get it running...
I gave up and tried GDrive, Dropbox, SpiderOak, Copy... The winner btsync and rsync.

Don't use it.

I use unison and its great. Setting up an SSH server with certificate authentication is easy and unison performs very well even with hundreds of gigabytes. I synchronize every half an hour my whole home directory, which is about 130 GB and over a million files (some really big repositories). And it takes about 5 seconds including file transfer. Only the first sync takes long. And there are even clients for android that can also sync from SSH/sftp, although they are not as efficient as unison.

I did some testing of Canonical's cloud services in the 11.10 and 12.04 timeframe. I was disappointed. My hope was that they would eventually be able to fix their issues since web based storage and synchronization aren't exactly rocket science. Hearing the news today, I'm actually curious as to what's really going on in Canonical. The key to U1 wasn't that it had to be the highest bandwidth, the largest amount of space, or the cheapest. The Key was rock solid reliability and integration with Ubuntu. I'm really surprised that they couldn't make it work.
That said, I'm completely unsurprised that their music store didn't work out. Asking people to pay for something that's already free is a pretty tough thing to do.
