I completely agree. I love /the idea/ of Ubuntu One and think it's
headed in the right direction, but it's seriously beta (if not alpha)
software, and not ready for prime time.
I'm a bit puzzled why it was included in Karmic. If any other package
behaved as poorly as U1 has, I'd have nixed it already and I'm concerned
that it could leave a bad taste in the mouths of new Ubuntu users. I've
spent too much time fiddling, troubleshooting and trying to get it to
behave and still can't confidently relying on U1.
I would have liked to see it stay in beta for longer before Canonical
released paid plans or included it in a release.
While I'd much rather give my money to Canonical, we'll be sticking with
JungleDisk and Dropbox until the platform is more stable and reliable. :(
Thanks to the developers for continuing to work on Ubuntu One and I look
forward to using it in the future.

I don't want to pile on, but I have had a similar experience.
My main motivation for using the paid service was to financially
support Canonical. But the fact is that U1 has never worked for me.
I've given up and moved to Dropbox. I might come back and try again
in a year.

I have the same feeling. If UbuntuOne can't fix the problem soon,
users will soon lose their loyalty. A part of the reason I use
UbuntuOne is because that I want support an open source revenue way.
But, if it causes me more trouble, I will leave it. I have been
experiencing file conflict troubles all the time and sometimes my new
files got swiped away by the sync though the versions on the server
side were old.
Cheers,

To whom it may concern,
I am an avid Ubuntu user so when I first heard about Ubuntu One I
was
excited to use it to backup my business's data. Unfortunately no
part
of Ubuntu one has been working for me (using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic).
The
application crashes as soon as I click it, the Ubuntu One folder
hangs
on "connecting..." and the web interface is unresponsive when I
attempt to upload a large file.
I am forced to end my paid subscription with Ubuntu One and look
into
alternative cloud storage such as DropBox, CrashPlan or Jungle Disk.
I understand good software takes time to perfect, but I've waited
nearly three weeks for the problems to be fixed. Am I suppose to pay
monthly for zero service? As a company that has yet to make a
profit;
I would advise Canonical to spend more energy on the applications
that
will turn a profit.
