Canonical has begun beta-testing a file-synchronization service called Ubuntu One for its Ubuntu Linux desktop operating system.

The closed beta test began on Monday for invited members of the Ubuntu user community, with further testers able to sign up by requesting an invitation, Canonical said.

Ubuntu One offers file synchronization for systems running Ubuntu 9.04, code-named Jaunty Jackalope, and is intended to be available to the general public in time for the launch of Ubuntu 9.10, codenamed Karmic Koala, in October, Canonical said.

Live Mesh has been out for a while and already does this.

Glad it has found its way over. This is very useful. I have several folders already sync'd online and more on the way.
