Comment 3 for bug 421775

"Regarding the file/folder renaming feature, we still don't provide that on the Web UI, but you can rename on your desktop."

I signed up to ubuntu one yesterday

I shared ~/Pictures/dir-with-crap-name-i-really-regret-choosing-and-really-want-to-change

I goto ~/Pictures in nautilus and rename ~/Pictures/dir-with-crap-name-i-really-regret-choosing-and-really-want-to-change
 to ~/Pictures/dir-with-proper-name. Now the ubuntu one client shows ~/Pictures/dir-with-crap-name-i-really-regret-choosing-and-really-want-to-change but sync locally is unticked. It does not know anything about ~/Pictures/dir-with-proper-name

It seems to me that "but you can rename on your desktop" is false? Perhaps you mean folders within that shared folder? To me this is a pretty big bug, one of the folders I want to rename has a few Gigs of videos, it looks like instead of renaming the folder I am going to have to share the folder with the new name and redownload everything. Where I live ISPs have usage caps so this is a bad outcome for me. Also I have shared links to things in these folders, I assume these will now be broken and I will have to redo these.

This is a pretty bad user experience. Being able to rename something is pretty fundamental, perhaps I am missing something but the FAQ has nothing about renaming and google brought me here.
