Comment 5 for bug 672897

There is exist another, manual way to do that.
1) Enable some folder to syncing or if it 'Ubuntu one' folder, sign in on new computer, then kill sync daemon immediately when he starts syncing.
2) Copy that files from another computer with flash drive or mobile hdd, etc.
3) Restart sync daemon. It will calculate check sums of files, he thinks that new, and encounter that the same file already exist in the cloud.
I used this method for enabling sync of many gigs on new computers without actualy downloading them.
Sorry for my english.
