Bug Description

I have two Ubuntu computers. With both I logon to the same Ubuntu One account. But when I share a file on the first computer (publish it with public link), and then right click on the file on the second computer (files are synced), the file is not marked as shared and I am not able to copy the link of the shared file. (Right click on the file ->Ubuntu one-> Copy link). I am working on german machine, so my wording might be slightly different from correct English,

GetPublicFiles is issued only on nautilus plugin startup and is not updated afterwards therefore different nautiluses can have different idea about the current list of published files. File publishing is not in the protocol and is done via HTTP requests and I believe this is the reason why this can happen.

At the moment the workaround is to re-publish the file on another computer. The URL will be returned and it will be the same as for the original publishing attempt. So even if file is published but nautilus insists that the file is not, one can publish the file again and get the same URL.
