I’ve done some minor updating work on Ubuntu One for Nokia N9. Updates: you can now download a whole folder in one go, if a file has a public URL you can now share that with people via the N9′s Share menu (you can’t actually publish, yet; sorry); fixed a few bugs. If you’ve got an N9 and use Ubuntu One you’ll likely find the upgrade useful. Nearly at the stage where I think it’s worth publishing into the Nokia Store and Apps for Meego.
If you’re already using it, then you might be one of the people who’ve asked: when is it going to allow me to upload things from my phone to Ubuntu One? My question to you is: how should you choose which things to upload? Should Ubuntu One be in the Share menu? Do you want a file browser? (which you will not get, I should say) Just allow uploading of photos? (although eventually there will be automatic photo upload, as Android and iOS have) Your thoughts are invited.
Thanks for u1fn9! It’s really nice to have this.
However, there is one thing that I am currently missing: It seems that once a file is downloaded, the app will not re-download it if a newer version is available on U1. I have a few files that I edit from time to time, but I don’t seem to be able to make the app pull the latest version.
A second thing that would be nice is being able to actually launch a file by tapping on it once it has been downloaded. Thus, the first tap should initiate the download, and the second tap should open it. (That’s the way e-mail attachments work, for example.)
Regarding file sharing: Automatic photo (and video) upload would be great. I think that is the most common use case for syncing files *from* the N9 (in contras to syncing *to* the N9, i.e. downloading). But having an entry in the share menu might be a nice addition.
Frederik: long-press on a file to delete it from the n9 (so you can download it again) or open it. Useful tip that open should be default, though, thanks
thanks for bringing U1 to the N9
plugin for the share menu would be great
