ubuntuone and owncloud for kubuntu community

[bubblecruntz]

ok first off if this is not the proper place for this I am sorry. I was just wondering since the devs are either ignoring kubuntu's plea for an ubuntu one client or are simply following the money with windows, android, and the like. Why can't the Kubuntu community set up it's own service using the owncloud software. Assuming of course one could set up owncloud on a server and allow others space for a price of course. Just a thought. what do you all think?

I'm on the same page as Teunis (except my dropbox is 3GB - gotta do those referrals, man 8) ) but I totally share the sentiment of the OP. Too bad Canonical's business model does not include KDE.

However, as to dropbox see the thread elsewhere that the finanical model may not be sustainable.

If that is correct then possibly working "now" would benefit Kubuntu later.

It's been tried before: http://apachelog.wordpress.com/2010/...e-the-kde-way/

See the comments and bug report at the end. It's a real shame. And seemingly proof that the Ubuntu community seemingly really doesn't give a **** about Kubuntu. Maybe this will change over time

I was trying to remember the site in our other discussion a while back about cloud, but couldn't remember until now. Minus is a new sharing site, one that offers 10 GB to start and allows users to expand up to 50 GB for free -- the largest free storage cloud that I know of. They provide an integration app for Ubuntu (!), plus Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android. I've opened an account and plan to give it a spin. Here's my referral link, we both get extra space through that. No pressure, though; here's their main signup page, too.

Thank you! Is there a possibility to share to "outsiders" who don't have Minus? Would love to see this kind of service with integrated ToDo list. Right now I have dropbox, U1 + several other cloud account each one missing one feature the other have.

Yes. If you mark uploads as public, they appear in your profile and are searchable. If you mark them as private, you have to provide other people with links that Minus creates.
