anyone notice on ubuntu-one, there is an option for a 50GB account for $10 a month now?

And yet you could get 100 GB on dropbox for $20 a month

And you can buy a Terra-byte HD for 80$

Because a hard drive and online storage are the same exact things

true, but all they need to do now is add the 100 for $20. and there will be no difference. then theres no reason to not use it.

And a legal pad with a nice pen for $3.50

Wait... was this reductio ad absurdum deliberate? :-k

that is not what online storage is for. its to make it simple and easy to get data to other people. not to store your personal files.

And your point is?

Hmmm... I have yet to share anything using Ubuntu One. I just use it as a personal
file storage client.

so do i, but that's still not what it is meant for.thats what i have a 320GB external for:). they are supposed to be developing more uses than just file sharing for ubuntu-one right now though.

Hey Guys, I just wanted to ask a question here instead of starting a new tread.

Can anyone compare dropbox to ubuntu 1? I am more interested in having a online backup of some documents and sharing photos with my folks. I don't need to sync my work computer (XP machine) with home home machine, but who knows in the future if this is handy?

Thank you

I think it's a significant improvement of the service actually. Ubuntu One is going to become useful for syncing a much wider range of things in the future. Tomboy notes and Evolution contacts have been added and browser bookmarks, folders outside the current one, and presumably a lot more are in the pipeline. I think a lot of users would find 10GB of stuff to sync easily, so expanding out to 50GB is great.

50GB also makes it a much more useful tool for off-site backups.

They need to make more options and more free space available.
