I've just got the Ubuntu One app on my Android device to sync files between my Android device and my desktop computer. I see that the app has the ability to automatically sync uploaded photos, can it also sync other files?

If I download a text file from my Ubuntu One with this app and edit it on my Android, how do I sync that file?

I use an app called FolderSync in conjunction with Cryptonite. The former can synchronize any directory on your SD card with a number of cloud providers. The latter handles encryption. You would use EncFS on the desktop to run the encryption there.

It works similar to DropBox. You put a new text file into your Ubuntu One folder on your PC, you check the app in your phone, and that same file will be there waiting for you. It works both ways.

Dropbox is doing the trick for me! Now I can edit the same file both in Vim on PC and in "DB Text Editor" on my Android phone. All synced in second in both directions.

  1. Instal DB both on your Ubuntu and Android.

  2. Make link to any folder inside Ubuntu One folder on PC (say "My texts") and move such link into your Dropbox folder on PC.

  3. Put some file to "My texts" and try to edit on both devices.
