Bug Description
The dialog that appears when you right click > Ubuntu One > share... is very confusing. It's not immediately apparent what you're meant to do with the dialog, especially if you don't have any Ubuntu One contacts.
I've created a mockup of a new dialog that I think is more straight forward and obvious.
* The main entry is made very clear with both a label (To:) and an entry hint (Name or Email Address).
* We use automatic suggestions to display Ubuntu One contacts that may match the query.
* Selecting one of these contacts converts their name into a button. This both makes sure the user knows that the name is "locked in" and allows for quick removal if they should change their mind.
* An icon, the name of the object, and it's size are displayed as a confirmation of the purpose of the dialog and to know what exactly it is we're sharing.

I've been staring at the current form for a few minutes and still can't figure out what to do. I'm attaching the current screen for comparison to your mock-up.
