The trick is simply to remove your original desktop directory and to create the symbolic link to the directory in your Dropbox folder instead.
hekonsek@Drone:~$ rm -r ~/Desktop hekonsek@Drone:~$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/Desktop ~/DesktopNow all changes to your desktop state will be synchronized with the Dropbox account. Apply this configuration trick to all your machines and you got desktop synchronized between multiple Ubuntu instances. Plus desktop backup for free :) .
Ubuntu One?
ReplyDeleteI'm still used to Dropbox. :) But I'm considering migration.
ReplyDeleteI migrated when they messed up with the license (which they abandoned/clarified later on). But I'm really happy with u1. You don't need artificial folder, you can pick whatever you want, and Android client is pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about migration to Ubuntu One due its 5 GB of starting capacity and cheaper paid options.
