Hello,

Can you please let me know which version of the Ubuntu One Windows Beata are you using. I'd also like to know if you have tried to create a UDF (user defined folder) on D: and if it uploads the contents. In order to create a new UDF you just have to launch the control panel and choose a new local folder to sync.

AFAIK we have not yet tried in real live doing this.

Sorry I forgot that you are not allows to create a UDF outside your home.. Let me think about how we could solve this but it seems like a very evil corner case.

Hello Manuel (both of you :-))!

Currently, there are no plans for making Ubuntu One being able to handle directories outside the user home. If you can setup your home directory so is under D:, then your will have no problem on choosing new folders to sync with Ubuntu One.

Please note that if you try what I proposed above, you need to first uninstall the current version of Ubuntu One and remove all your Ubuntu One metadata. For assistance how to do that, please fill an support request at http://one.ubuntu.com/help or enter #ubuntuone IRC channel at freenode.net.

I'm closing this bug as Won't Fix.
Thanks!
