I've just got ubuntu one app on my android device to sync file between my android device and my desktop computer. I see that the app has the ability to automatically sync uploaded photos, can it also sync other files?

If I download a text file from my ubuntu one with this app and edit it on my android, how do I sync that file? I'd appreciate any help

I use an app called Foldersync in conjunction with Cryptonite. The former can synchronize any directory on your sdcard with a number of cloud providers. The latter handles encryption. You would use Encfs on the desktop to run the encryption there.

It works similar to DropBox. You put a new text file into your Ubuntu One folder on your PC, you check the app in your phone, and that same file will be there waiting for you. It works both ways.

It does NOT work both ways. The app doesn't support syncing. – Richard Borcsik May 24 '12 at 19:55
I just added a folder through the app and went to the website and it was there waiting for me. I believe that is syncing? – KickingLettuce May 24 '12 at 21:50

Syncing would be if you add a file to your one folder on the sdcard and it would show up on your pc. – Richard Borcsik May 25 '12 at 7:56
