Quoting Melvin Carvalho (2013-06-08 12:43:31) > Far from a perfect solution, but isnt Ubuntu One open source and cross > platform? No, Ubuntu One is not Open Sorce / Free Software as a solution. Ubuntu One is, according to <https://launchpad.net/ubuntuone-servers>, proprietary licensed without access to source code. _client_ code exist for interaction with Ubuntu One, which is GPL-licensed and therefore Open Source according to OSI as well as Free Software according to "Debian Free Software Guidelines". Open/Free clients exists also for Facebook, Twitter and DropBox. <https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/LeavingTheCloud> lists these Free alternatives to DropBox with GUI clients for multiple platforms: SparkleShare: <http://sparkleshare.org/> iFolder: <http://www.ifolder.com/ifolder> git-annex: <http://git-annex.branchable.com/> SparkleShare and git-annex uses git (not sure about iFolder). SparkeShare and iFolder have been around for quite some time, written in C#. git-annex is younger, written in Haskell. I would recommend to take a good look at git-annex. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
