One of the reasons I have avoided Unity ;-) (Apart from not liking the look). Colin Law wrote: On 8 April 2014 17:39, Bea Groves beagro...@gmail.com wrote: Hi! My favourite sub' for Ubuntu One?

[ubuntu-uk] Cloud backup ....
Hi there . Following on from the lengthy discussions about the closure of UbuntuOne, I've discovered Insync. If you haven't come across it, it allows use of Google Drive with its free 15GiB space, and it seems to be fantastic. It integrates with Nautilus and allows the use of symlinks in a dedicated directory. It is incredibly flexible. Unfortunately it costs, but only a meagre $10 as a one-off. You get a free trial though. Regards,Barry. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

There are tons (and tonnes) of free cloud storage providers out there. For example, OVH's hubiC provides 25GB free (100GB@€1pm, 10TB@€10pm). IIRC Box also provides 50GB. I've also had some success with ownCloud on a low-end dedi (which also provides other services) for around 500GB@£100py (though I fell back on Unison sync+Ajaxplorer rather than using ownCloud). This has the added benefit of keeping everything under my control. J -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I guess you've saved me $15! What I like most about copy.com (apart from the 15GiB of free space), is the command line options. The problem in the gui interface seems to do with GTK - but you can do anything you want with the two commandline binaries ... so I'm going to write some simple scripts to make it work the way I want it to. Since it is always going to be working in the background, why would I need a gui? It can be launched as a daemon doing whatever you want with whatever files and directories you choose. Thanks again - I like it! Regards,Barry. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
