Comment 4 for bug 514463

Joshua,
You hail from Mo., we are practically neighbours. Well at least in the scope of the large global Ubuntu Community. :)

About your question. Currently everything you want to be synced with your Ubuntu One account needs to be in your Ubuntu One folder. Different capabilities are being discussed and worked on. It probably wont be long before you have some additional options when it comes to specifying other folders for syncing. Whether that is through symlinks or specifying folders directly through the U1 client i am not sure. But as of right now you are correct in your statement that the files and directories must be in your U1 folder.
