File Size Restriction on Upload

[Dyllan Pascoe]

It is my opinion that not being able to set a file upload size limit from within the Ubuntu One Client is a bug and needs to be addressed.

Without going into to much detail, there are many countries around the world that suffer slow/expensive bandwidth. The Ubuntu One folder, again in my opinion, should be treated as the equivalent to the My Documents folder on M$. Because there is currently no file upload size limit, persons need to monitor what files they put into the Ubuntu One folder, accidentally saving a file over 50Mb could have serious implications for a user who's bandwidth is very expensive.

If there are those users who don't want to have 50Mb+ files uploaded automatically, but from time to time do want to upload a larger than 50Mb file, they can simply right-click on the file as Sync with Ubuntu One.

So to summarize, if a user was able to set file upload size restrictions, they would be then be able to use the Ubuntu One folder more freely without having to be concerned of extremely large files trying to upload. In turn the Ubuntu One Cloud will probably store much more data because the Ubuntu One folder will be used more frequently.
