Bug Description
Similar services like Dropbox are far superior because there are clients for Win, Mac + Linux (also not only debs for Ubuntu!). I can not use this with my friends, so it's not of much use. Your user base will probably be very small.
NOTE: this bug was too general so its been broken out into more specific bugs by platform:
See Bug #601218 Ubuntu One for Windows [DONE]
See Bug #385696 Ubuntu One for Mac OS X [DONE]
See Bug #375145 Ubuntu One for KDE/Kubuntu
See Bug #412424 Ubuntu One client for Debian
See Bug #1212361 Ubuntu One client for Windows Phone
There is a unofficial Fedora client here: http://
For arch it's in the community repo: http://
~dobey: We do make tarball releases of all the client software, and anyone is free to package it on their favorite Linux distro. There are some users who are already using it on Fedora, Arch, and Gentoo.
There are some pieces of software which do depend on python-apt, aptdaemon, etc… however, and may not immediately be usable on all other distros which are not Debian based.

First Off, I am just a user, not a developer of Ubuntu One.
From what I can see, this is largely python based. In theory, this can run on Windows ( Euch! ) Mac and other Distros. I will try to run this first in Debian W/ GNOME ( If nothing else can run this, it will be Debian ). If this looks promising ( and I think it should ) it should be portable across the other distros with light hacking.
