Ubuntu One to Dropbox

[Inisfad]

I have been backing up with Ubuntu One, and, using the free offer from Mover, moved my back up to my account in Dropbox. I have number of questions - first, the 'Folders To Backup' box in Ubuntu One is blank - I understand it backs up your Home folder by default - but my Home folder has about 40gb in it - and certainly my 'Folders to Ignore' is not a terribly large list, yet my Ubuntu One backup is only 2gb. My problem now arises in that, as Dropbox only accepts 2gb, I am unclear as to actually what on earth I have been backing up all along. But more importantly, after much searching on the internet (and, of course, after my backup was moved from Ubuntu One) I understand you cannot point deja dup directly to Dropbox - there is no accepted URI, and that you must actually back up to your local Dropbox folder, and then Dropbox actually uploads for you. Is that correct? And how can I ascertain exactly what files I have been backing up - considering they are all encrypted - without restoring all? Thanks for any help you can give me!

You could try using u1_downloader to download your UbuntuOne content to your local disk, then use any local tools you might have to extract what you want, then move that to dropbox.
