How will Ubuntu-One distinguish itself from the competition?
I have just taken the first steps with ubuntuone and discovered how easy the ubuntu client (on Karmic) is, but also that I could just as well access my files and upload via windows, and recover on ubuntu. So far it is nice.
However, it happened that the excellent German computer magazine c't (#18, on sale next monday Aug 17,2009) has a story about such clients (not mentioning ubuntu-one, :-( ... ), discussing dropbox and 5 more. All have a free plan, but the paid ones are either 5x cheaper or offer 5x more storage compared to the ubuntu plan. Dropbox in particular has clients for win,mac, linux, and at least two levels of encryption, as far as I can make out.
I realize that ubuntuone is beta, but what is intended to make it on-par with other offers, and what will be above-par to justifiy higher prices?
