Bugger
(checks date for April 1st ... no, we're on the 3rd.)
A friend asked me to migrate them to Mint because his XP was booting like an elderly animal that really should see the vet one last time; and he had tried a neighbours Win 8 laptop and thought it was so bad ... that he was willing to put the effort in to learning Mint.
As part of the process I nearly signed him up to Ubuntu One last night, for seamless synching; as like others have said, it may not be the largest free file service, but it does its synching job a damn sight better than the competition, in my humble opinion.
Canonical just keep making decisions that alienate me from them, and their services. The more they cut, the more irrelevant they are to my computing life. I stopped Ubuntu because of Unity; Ubuntu One was the only storage and music service I used ... then they discontinued the music service, and now they're going to discontinue the storage service.
Dumb move Canonical. There are people out here that think a damn sight more of the service and its abilities, than the shear amount of the storage.
Flame suit donned - let me have it.
