That's not how I'd like it. It's a folder on my system so it should
act just like a folder. Dragging to it moves from local disk, copies
from remote disk. Ubuntu One isn't like an sshfs mounted chunk of
space, it's just a folder which happens to have some magic that syncs
it to the cloud.

Why would your file "go" anywhere other than where you put it?

Cheers,
Al.
