Right now, non-Ubuntu OSs must use the web browser interface to access files, contacts, and notes. If you are a developer on other platforms, we would be happy to provide you with tools and assistance for writing a desktop client for them.

Hello. I'm a developer. I'm interested in bringing close Ubuntu One and Windows using a windows desktop client software(rather than using a web browser) using .NET or Java.
Where can I find Ubuntu One documentation or Code Samples for getting started?

Hi Lenin,

The syncdaemon (which is the core of the Ubuntu file sharing client) is written in python, and should be very portable: https://launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client. If you wanted to write a completely new client in Java or C# rather than porting the python client and writing a native GUI for it, look at the raw storage protocol instead: https://launchpad.net/ubuntuone-storage-protcol. You'd need to use the google protobuf compiler to generate Java or C# bindings, and then you could write a client.

We don't really have tutorial style documentation or code samples for getting started, but we do ship a fully functioning client application with a few docs directly in the source code, and thats the ubuntuone-client code. Hope this helps!

Can you help with this problem?
