SecretSync with Ubuntu One

SecretSync is synchronization service agnostic. This simply means that while we make it real simple to use SecretSync with the market leader for synchronization, Dropbox, it can be used with the synchronization service of your choice. Providing they install a local directory somewhere on your computer, that is.

For example, on Linux, if you use Ubuntu One instead of Dropbox, you can still use SecretSync. You just need to make a small adjustment when you install.

During the Linux installation, change the Dropbox directory to the location of the Ubuntu One directory:


That's basically all there is to it. Now, anything you put in the unencrypted SecretSync folder is encrypted and added to the Ubuntu One synchronization folder:


From this point, Ubuntu One will take care of synchronizing your encrypted files to your other computers.
