Mac users get an official Ubuntu One client

December 20, 2012

Google's Drive file storage and synchronization service may often claim a larger share of media headlines than Canonical's competing Ubuntu One cloud service does, but this week Ubuntu One gained a critical competitive edge. Specifically, after spending a few months in beta, Ubuntu One's client for Mac OS X users became official, meaning that the service is now truly cross-platform. Already supported by Ubuntu One are Windows, iOS, and Android, as well as Ubuntu Linux itself. “Ubuntu One is cross-platform and works on Windows, iOS, Android, Ubuntu, the Web, and now on Mac, so you can use Ubuntu One between all your favorite OSes and across devices,” reads the official Wednesday post on the Ubuntu One blog. “Files, photos, documents, music—all your precious stuff can be stored and managed in a single place with your Ubuntu One personal cloud,” Canonical added. “You can then access your stuff from anywhere, freeing up space on your other devices.” To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
