I have several Windows, Mac and Linux computers (No servers) and want to install Ubuntu One on them to share and save information. So my question is:
In what operating systems can I actually install Ubuntu One?
What are the requirements for it?
How to install and configure it?
As per the comments:
Ubuntu One is available in
Indeed, you can install Ubuntu One as a program on non-Ubuntu computers. Once you have an Ubuntu One account, you can actually access your data, manage folders and upload files on the web interface (which does not require any install): https://one.ubuntu.com.
The requirements are essentially fairly basic. You need to have a supported operating system. You also need to install it with administrator right (on windows, for instance). No extra software is needed to run Ubuntu.
For setup instructions, read the (nice-and-easy) manuals for
Configuring Ubuntu One often comprises of two steps.
Signing in with your account (or creating one if you have none).
Selecting the folder you actually want to synchronize. Note that the Ubuntu One folder (which is added to your home directory or your My Documents folder, for instance) is always synced.
Then you can just enjoy. More information can be found in the FAQ.
Note : Ubuntu One is a tool to synchronize information. It is a cloud service to synchronize information between 'computers.' Synchronizing is not the same as making a backup. Look here for backup tools. Your information in Ubuntu One still needs to be backed up.
