ok heres my 2 cents (worth 0) let me first say that i am a full time gnu/linux user. As of this article, i can see my self using the "dropbox" like feature and fill the 2gb pretty quick. The 3rd party integration is the real key to this whole thing but they better hope developers of bigger aps go out of their way to take advantage of the tech because syncing Tomboy notes and chat logs doesn't really seem like a "killer" feature.I guess it would be nice to have an integrated remote app but i dont mind using logme in either. All in all i guess im not really blown away with any of this yet.

Why is this being burried? The link points to dropbox. Dropbox is a site that is aready doing pretty much the same thing as Canonicals new idea. Its not 100% the same but it is cross platform and from the reviews I just looked up it seems to get a decent amount of positive feedback

I'm huge fan of dropbox, and I will use this one but I don't dropbox just works so well on my Ubuntu systems and on my Win XP Pro system.

2GB isn't enough to give me a chubby. If they could give out 200GB.. well I'd be putting eyeballs out.

Adrive.com gives you 50gb for free. I think that should be the goal.
