Idea #29893: Provide email attachment storage service using UbuntuOne, like YouSendIt

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #29422: Tired of large email attachments / file sharing solutions.
Written by rodsingleton the 26 Jun 12 at 12:48. Category: Internet & Networking. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
The latest version 13 of Thunderbird offers the YouSendIt service as a Filelink storage service.

This made me think that with every Ubuntu user having a free Ubuntu One cloud storage why have a subscription to another service when you could achieve the same outcome with UbuntuOne.

Also the free YouSendIt service limits you to sending up to 50MB attachments, but if you have a couple of GB free in your UbuntuOne storage then why not use some of this space for online email attachment storage. And you wouldn't have any arbitrary attachment size restriction - you would only be restricted by how much available space left in your UbuntuOne account.

This is not for Canonical. Thunderbird has already planned this:
