Canonical and the Ubuntu community keep delivering new features that make the Linux-based desktop platform more accessible in more ways, to more people, than ever before.
When Ubuntu launched Ubuntu One – it’s cloud-based storage service directly woven into its Ubuntu desktop operating software – it jumped into a crowded space with the likes of Google, Microsoft, Apple, Box.com, Dropbox and more.
Ubuntu One is free with a 5 GB storage capacity, accessible over the Web. With Ubuntu One Files for iPhone, it’s now fast, free and easy to download and upload those files between the service and your iOS-based device. The app also makes it easy to transfer photos, seamlessly, from your iPhone to Ubuntu One – similar to the way Apple’s own iCloud service for photo streaming works. It is also interoperable with other apps and services, including Evernote and Dropbox, on the iPhone.
(A separate service, Ubuntu One Music for iPhone, can run $3.99 per month for up to 20 GB of storage and has a separate app available for the iPhone.)
You don’t even need to use a desktop based on the Ubuntu Linux OS to make good use of Ubuntu One Files for the iPhone. The service itself stands up to Microsoft Skydrive for iPhone, for example, and even outflanks anything by Google in cloud-based storage for the iOS platform.
The service is free, and Ubuntu One Files for iPhone is a free download from the Apple iTunes App Store.
