Add an explanation about what Ubuntu One is that opens when clicking the icon, perhaps in the webpage before asking to log in.

Have a first launch wizard that explains what Ubuntu One is, then gets your login credentials or creates an account for you. This would solve the problem and eliminate the need for the webpage.

Allow downloading folders in .tar, .tar.gz or .zip, like GitHub does.

To solve this i thing the best way is to make a sync playlist plugin to rhythmbox and banshee that works the same way as a normal sync playlist, but this one will upload tho the cloud when sync.

My idea is to unite and extend ubuntu software center with ubuntu one, featuring ubuntu one music store, bookmark sync, synced files viewer, ubuntu one settings manager, application sync manager. Add book and movie downloads to ubuntu one, and you can also include canonical store.
On the main window you can choose between software installation, music, video, book download, you can watch your dashboard and files in ubuntu one, and setup your ubuntu one sync profile. On setup page, the user can add the log in information, so the ubuntu center can log automatically every time, he wants to use the online features, such as music, book download, software, bookmark, contact, notes, file syncing.
Also expand the free space from 2GB to 5GB or give a cheaper 10GB or 20GB pay plan, because 2 GB is too small, but 10 dollars monthly for 50GB I barely can use, is too much.

This solution would expand on the unification of the Music Store and Software Center described in solution 1.

The concept is similar to the funding model used by Kickstarter, with the difference being that all content produced would be made available under a Creative Commons or open source license (depending on the type of content produced).

Open source development has worked well for software that has a long useful lifespan and benefits from continuous improvement (office productivity software, operating systems, image editing tools, etc). Books, movies, and music are generally meant to be experienced in completed form rather than continuously changed and improved after publication. Some types of software (such as story-based role-playing games) have more in common with books or movies than with image editors or operating systems, and have been traditionally underrepresented in open source software.

A funding model similar to Kickstarter, combined with a very community oriented web site that could organize projects by genre and provide discussion forums, as well as easy accessibility through a combined Software Center/Music Store/Free Media Center interface, could help provide a viable business model for free content production.

Also, to encourage donations and raise awareness of the funding model, some portion of the subscription fees of paid Ubuntu One subscribers could be put in a donation fund for that user. For example, if $2 out of the $10 monthly fee was placed in a fund that the user could use to donate to projects of their choice (but could not be used for anything else) it would encourage donations by paid subscribers because these would have no additional cost to the user. It might also convince some free users to become paid subscribers. The long term benefits of successfully establishing this business model might be far greater than the loss of $2 per month from paid subscribers.
