Comment 6 for bug 1232053

Note that the sync functionality is provided by ubuntuone-syncdaemon, and is unaffected. You can still drop files in a synchronised folder from your file manager, or the command line, or from any other program, and they will continue to be synchronised as they are now.

You can share a file already in your cloud by clicking the sync indicator and selecting "Share a File" from the drop-down. The Ubuntu One Control Panel will open at the "Share Links" page. Alternatively you can open the Ubuntu One Control panel directly by selecting "Open Ubuntu One" from the sync indicator drop-down, or by selecting Ubuntu One from the Dash or the Launcher; then select the "Share Links" tab. Here you can enter a filename in the search box and select the file to share from the results, whereupon you will be presented with the public link.

Adding a new folder to your cloud storage is done from the "Folders" tab in the Ubuntu One Control Panel. Click the "Add a folder from this computer" button at the bottom of the tab, and select the folder from the file dialogue. Synchronisation should begin immediately.

To share a folder privately with other Ubuntu One users, such that it will be kept synchronised between their connected devices, you will need to click "Go to the web for public and private sharing options".
