“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.”
