Ubuntu One Client

Putting Ubuntu One directory in Private directory

Asked by Russ Phillips

I've set up a Private directory, and I'd like the files in Ubuntu One to be encrypted. Can I move the Ubuntu One directory into the Private directory and symlink to it? ie:

mv "Ubuntu One" Private/
ln -s "Private/Ubuntu One"

I think that should work, since encfs mounts the encrypted directory in ~/Private, so Ubuntu One will see the decrypted files. I'd like confirmation if possible, though ;)

Just to clarify - I'd like the files to be encrypted on my machine, but have decrypted files available via the web interface.

I don't think this is going to work. We count on the Ubuntu One folder being there and I don't think this would allow you to have decrypted files available via the web interface but encrypted on your computer. Thank you, Joshua
