Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client
Nautilus doesn't seem to be notified when you publish a file from the web or another computer. This means you have to click Publish on a file that is published in order to unpublish it.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Place a file in your Ubuntu One folder and make sure it's synchronized.
2) Open your Ubuntu One webpage to view your files: https:/
3) Publish the file you just created.
4) Go back to Nautilus, right click the file and try to unpublish it.
5) Notice that the Ubuntu One menu of Nautilus only shows the possibility to publish the file, even though it is published.
6) Publish the (already published) file from Nautilus.
7) You're now notified that the file has been published, even though it already was.
8) Right click the file and observe that you can now unpublish the file from Nautilus.
I can see no easy way of determining whether a file has been published or not. If you want to make sure a file is not published, you either need to publish it and then unpublish it, or do it from the Ubuntu One website. This is very confusing behaviour. Connected Ubuntu One clients needs to be notified of these kinds of changes and act accordingly. I also think it should be much easier to see if a file has been published.

This is a pretty invasive issue to fix. The problem is that published files information is not transmitted through the storage protocol. It is all done via a REST API. This means there is no way for the server to notify clients when files are published or unpublished on the web server. In order to fix, we'd need to add the necessary bits to the ubuntuone-
