Canonical releases Ubuntu One for Android devices

"Canonical's Ubuntu One cloud storage service had previously been available from the outfit's Ubuntu Linux distribution, however with the arrival of Ubuntu One Files on Android, users can access the service on both PCs running Ubuntu and Android devices. The free service offers 2GB of storage space and does not need a PC to operate.

"Given the recent controversies surrounding Dropbox, a similar cloud storage application that lets you share data between PCs and mobile devices, The INQUIRER asked Cristian Parrino, VP of online services at Canonical what steps the firm has taken to ensure that users' data remains private and the answer seems to depend on whether they want to stream the data to devices or not."
