[Discuss] UbuntuOne alternatives

[pw]

Google docs works nicely too.

You get a file share and as long as you have access to docs.google.com
you're good to go.

I just finished a collaborative project using google docs as the shared
file repository for a group of people around the country. It's very
consistent and people can do simultaneous edits of shared files.

I used my own ssh services for moving things around on my own computer.

I had used Ubuntu One but most people over 30 can't seem to get over
the whole MS Windows thing no matter how much it repeatedly burns them.
Even though Ubuntu One had a windows client, "It isn't DropBox".

Why do people stop learning after college...(?) Ah, well.
