Introducing Ubuntu One

Ubuntu one is cloud storage that integrates perfectly into your Ubuntu desktop. Both the cloud storage and the desktop client were created and are maintained by Canonical. Canonical as well runs the Ubuntu One service. Users sign up for an account and may at the time sync files between their computer and a server on the internet. From there, files may be accessed by other computers with an Ubuntu One client installed, via a web browser, or using a paid mobile phone service.

In addition to files, you can set Ubuntu One to synchronize your contacts, notes made with Tomboy, and your Firefox bookmarks. Not only this, however your Ubuntu One account can be used via Banshee Music Player and other Linux media players like Rhythmbox to purchase and legally download music from then known artists and groups. When you purchase music, it is automatically placed in your Ubuntu One account, so it may at the time be accessed from any location. Ubuntu One Mobile allows you to stream this music to your Android or iOS4 phone.
