As the title suggests, I can't figure out a way to share a folder outside my home folder using Ubuntu One. When browsing to my work partition using Nautilus, every folder has the "Share" option grayed out.

You could try using a mount --bind command. Something like

mount --bind /path/to/folder /home/username/folder_to_sync

This should make the contents of /path/to/folder available in both places.

Ubuntu-one doesn't support symlinks, but it might support binding mounts. If it does work, you can add a line to /etc/fstab

/path/to/folder /home/username/folder_to_sync    none    bind    0    0

That way it will always mount on boot.
