The UX spec that defines the future functionality regarding "moving a folder out of a Ubuntu One enabled folder" is available at http://use-case-mapper.canonical.com/specifications/0AU5sFuLRpCpBZGZra2pqY2pfMjY1ZjRodG5nZDg/use_cases/2_7

(remember to view variations 1.a, 2.a and 3.a - links are on the left hand side of the Use Case Mapper)

This use case will not prevent the problem you encountered from happening, but I would be interested any suggestions you might have. The problem we are facing is that if we issue a warning every time you delete or move a file out of a Ubuntu One enabled folder most users will quickly become annoyed and would switch the warnings off. Then we are in a situation where we have both annoyed lots of people and not solved the problem ;-)

One possible solution could be to treat the deletion of any UDF as the same as pressing the soon to exist "Cancel sync" button. This would stop the syncing of the folder to the specific computer but would not remove the folder from the cloud. However only partially solves the problem.

Suggestions??? Ideally in use case format please ;-)
