Comment 19 for bug 406930

This is a real show-stopper for me and many others..... a lot of folks keep their important stuff outside of the home directory and on a separate drive to avoid blowing their files away if the o/s drive becomes corrupted..... U1 should be able to sync files from any directory (ie: not just inside the user's home directory) and follow symlinks.

The option to now purchase additional U1 storage implies that the service can be used as an offline backup --- however this single limitation prevents it's use.

Looks like I'm going to have to go back to dropbox :-(
