Ubuntu will not upload a new large(!) file if put into a folder which is 'Shared With Me', e.g.
~/Ubuntu One/Shared With Me/ProjectX
Steps to reproduce:
1. another user shares a folder with you which then shows up in "Shared With Me". The folder shall - of course - be shared with read/write permission.
2a. put one or more small files of not more than 10MB in the shared folder. They will upload with no problem.
2b. put a *large* file with more than 500MB into the folder. It will *not* upload. U1 will index the file, but never upload it. Watch the transfer rates in the Systemmonitor to verify. NOTE: Do not use a file which you have somewhere else in your U1, because a file which is already present in another folder will appear to "upload", i.e. assigned to this folder due to deduplication. The file has to be "fresh". If you don't have a large file handy, you can quickly generate one:
head -c 500m /dev/urandom > test.bin
3. Check via the U1 web interface. The large file will not appear. Also: every time U1 is restartet, you will get a notification that it will upload the file. But it will not do it. |

Steps to reproduce:
1. another user shares a folder with you which then shows up in "Shared With Me". The folder shall - of course - be shared with read/write permission, and both users have enough free space with Ubuntu One and on their local hard drive (let's say several GB to be on the save side).
