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.
