Bug Description
Shared folders that are inside the Ubuntu One folder show up as shared, both in Nautilus and in the web interface. Folders outside of Ubuntu One behave differently.
I tried to share a folder, located in my Home directory but outside of Ubuntu One, with another person. When I did this, there was no change of colour in the web interface and in Nautilus nothing to indicate that the share had been successful. I ended up trying repeatedly, and eventually assumed that sharing of such folders wasn't allowed.
However, running u1sdtool --list-shared shows all the shared folders, including the ones I thought hadn't worked! (And I think the poor guy got spammed with lots of notification emails, but as he's my son, it's possible for me to explain easily.)
But there's no way that I can see of removing the shares if I decide to do so later. I would expect that if a folder is shared, its status will be clearly visible, and changeable, whether it's inside the Ubuntu One folder or not. Ideally, I should be able to do this from Nautilus and the web interface.
Update:
After rebooting, I notice that the folder shows up as shared in Nautilus, but I can't stop the sharing - the option is greyed out.
It still doesn't show as shared in the web interface. So I can't stop the sharing there, either.
