Ubuntu one is a security risk  
Written by ave2 the 28 Feb 13 at 10:12. Not an idea
I use Ubuntu one for two applications:
1)
I have two computers- a desktop and a laptop. I work on both throughout the day and found that it's great to be able to sync documents between the two. So I can work on my desktop, switch to my laptop and carry on where I left off.
2)
to backup all my files.

Unfortunately the way Ubuntu one is designed, you cannot do both natively without exposing yourself to a major security risk:

If someone steals my laptop (These things are serious targets), or if someone uses it, they have access to all my information because:
1) Once set up, Ubuntu one doesn't need a password in order to access the server.
2) that computer has access to everything thats stored online.

Solution #1: Allow you to select which folders to sync and offer a log out.
Written by ave2 the 28 Feb 13 at 10:12.
1) Give us the option to select which folders we want to sync/have access to. That way I can share my current project, but all my backups remain secure and hiden on the server.

2) If I then want to access my other folders, I have to first log in with a password.

Integrate awesome Livescribe Sky smartpen with UbuntuOne  
Written by GerryT the 18 Dec 12 at 08:39. Not an idea
The Livescribe Smartpens are an awesome technology (http://www.livescribe.com) and are very very useful. However, there was no good way to use it from Linux/Ubuntu.

Livescribe developed a new smartpen which is called sky and connect to cloud storage (e.g. see http://www.techworld.com.au/article/440418/hands_livescribe_smartpen_adds_wi-fi _evernote/). Facebook, Dropbox and Google Drive are soon supported, but there is no word about UbuntuOne.

This integration and the potential partnership with Livescribe would be beneficial for both and would relieve the suffering Livescribe on Linux community very much.

Ubuntu users can't use Netflix, they can use Amazon Instant Video, but why not Ubuntu Instant Video?

Solution #1: Ubuntu One Video Store
Written by TREESofRIGHTEOUSNESS the 10 Apr 12 at 20:01.
Rent movies from The UBUNTU ONE VIDEO store!!
Buy movies from The UBUNTU ONE VIDEO store, which can be added (automatically) by choice to the users Ubuntu One folder (or in their Videos folder if it is set to sync)

If Ubuntu is going to be an OS for a TV, a phone, a Tablet.... then what better to stream video/TV content than Ubuntu?

Obviously Mr. Shuttleworth would have to talk to the various movie companies, to get digital rights to distribute and sell/rent movies. The programing is all in place (except a few additions to Ubuntu One, and additions to Banshee, etc...)
And of course a new Unity lense would be needed (or add on to the existing video lense)

This could benefit the entire Linux community as well...



Thanks

Ubuntu One Windows client cannot use Proxy settings  
Written by Lionthinker the 29 Mar 12 at 14:51. Not an idea
Ubuntu One on Windows DOES NOT have an option to set proxy settings on Windows!

There are countless closed ideas that have attempted to brainstorm this idea of a proxy.
This is a specific idea of U1 ON WINDOWS.

I use my laptop through the wireless of a university, and also have a desktop.

Installed U1 on my work (Microsoft) desktop and it did not work.
Then installed Dropbox, it worked when some IT guy came and simply went to options on Dropbox and inserted the relevant proxy settings. Works brilliantly.

When installing U1 on Windows there is NO OPTION for proxy. After install it asks directly for log in details and returns a failed error relating to a proxy.

Thus I can't get past the log in phase, the only phase that works is install.

Solution #1: Option to set Proxy settings
Written by Lionthinker the 29 Mar 12 at 14:51.
U1 ON WINDOWS needs to allow for an options phase AFTER INSTALL BUT BEFORE LOG IN.

This option needs to allow for input proxy settings.

This will increase U1 to compete with successfully with dropbox!

Ubuntu One Client Should Can Accept Proxy Configuration  
Written by malsasa the 25 Mar 12 at 17:35. Not an idea
Ubuntu One Client in Ubuntu 11.10 can't handle proxy configuration via GUI or global proxy configuration. This problem can disturb Ubuntu users who connected to internet behind a proxy server. So, next Ubuntu should has a UOC which can accept proxy configuration via GUI of global proxy configuration.

Solution #1: Add GUI Option to Ubuntu One Client
Written by malsasa the 25 Mar 12 at 17:35.
Somebody should add graphical option so users can set proxy in UOC.

Ubuntu One: synchronization on exit  
Written by bigo86 the 2 Jan 12 at 09:16. Not an idea
I use Ubuntu One to sync files for several applications, including all my reference library (scientific papers and so on). Sometimes I just save something and I shut down my computer right after that, because I'm in a hurry and I don't wait for the synchronization to be finished. Then I turn on my laptop at home and I don't have the same documents I was working on previously. I think ubuntu one should be better integrated in the system and should account for these kinds on needs.

What I think is that there is no meaning in synchronization if you are not sure that everything is synchronized when you switch off.

BTW: why isn't there Ubuntu One among the related projects category?

Solution #1: Ubuntu One setting
Written by bigo86 the 2 Jan 12 at 09:16.
Let the user set the operations to be done before a shutdown/logout using the "Ubuntu One Control Panel". Something like a check that says: "synchronize on exit".

Solution #3: Popup on logout
Written by bigo86 the 2 Jan 12 at 10:17.
Add a popup window on logout/shutdown asking whether to wait the ending of the synchronization process.

all social networks on a site  
Written by mathieu1256 the 8 Aug 11 at 16:11. Not an idea
I have an idea that it is less difficult to satisfy all your social networks like facebook twitter hyves simultaneously update and to ensure that more young people in particular ubuntu to ubuntu gets
The idea is a website where all your social networks like facebook twitter hyves etc in one place can be updated to take still photos without ever posting to another site to go
So you can just stay on this site instead of always another site to log in and you do not have to remember all passwords
and if users must log in with a ubuntu one user id and poeple can see the graet things of ubuntu one too like free 5gb of storage and ubuntu music so ubuntu one can make money with that and much users.

SIP-chat/telephone/video service in ubuntu one mobile  
Written by kikl the 11 May 11 at 08:41. Not an idea
Ubuntu is offering cloud services called ubuntu one for syncing documents, contacts and calenders with your mobile phone. Additionally it offers streaming music to your mobile phone. I recently found out how easily the open standard SIP service can be used for voip services including video and conference calls. Empathy offers a plugin, however you have to find an SIP service provider. This requires googling and setting up an account on the internet. So this is no option for a complete novice who doesn't want to google the internet in order to find a solution. Furthermore, there need to be more people using this service in order to call them - like Skype.

Solution #1: ubuntu skype-service integrated across PC and mobile platforms
Written by kikl the 11 May 11 at 08:41.
The technology (SIP) is there to be used and can be easily implemented. However, users are needed in order to interconnect using the service. Ubuntu already has a large user base and it shall become even more. Setting it up must be simplified and the service must be integrated with other services. Ubuntu has all the tools to implement this.

My idea: Offer this telephony service via ubuntu. Ubuntu one mobile lets you sync all your contacts, calender, chats... The ubuntu-one-app on your i-phone/android lets you use voip. The ubuntu-one service lets you use this on your laptop or PC by simply selecting ubuntu one and logging you in into your ubuntu account via empathy. The SIP user name and password is automatically assigned by the ubuntu one service.

Thereby, anyone using ubuntu one will be able to use voip including the synced address book and chats.

Provide an alternative to ad-driven google services for Andoid users!  
Written by phen the 27 Apr 11 at 09:04. Not an idea
For windows, sync-apps exist to sync calendar and contacts from andoid phones to a PC. Apple users are happy with their apple-only solution that works well i guess. Android users can rely on google for their syncing needs, but they pay for comfortable syncing with their personal data. This is not acceptable for me, and possibly others think alike.

I guess that this problem is found similar when working with other mobile operating systems! For me it was never possible to reliably sync my mobile phones with my linux boxes. perhaps bad luck; but still, it was never a problem for windows users. Perhaps the time has come where this can be solved.

Solution #1: Provide google-like services with ubuntu one
Written by phen the 27 Apr 11 at 09:04.
What is needed:
- Contact syncing (already available)
- Calendar syncing
- Mail syncing
- Android Integration (Apps?)

What could be added later:
- encryption to stored data and streaming (costs extra!)
- an IMAP service by ubuntu One!
- Integration for other Systems, if possible (Symbian, WP7..)
