Most people with multiple devices like PC, Tablet and smartphone probably use some sort of file syncing solutions based on cloud services like dropbox, box or Ubuntu One. AeroFS comes to change this by removing the need for the middle part of the file syncing technologies (cloud storage or server).
Cloud Computing
OSCON 2012: Mark R. Shuttleworth, “Making Magic From Cloud To Client”
The O’Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) is an annual convention for the discussion of free and open source software. It is organized by the publisher O’Reilly Media and is held each summer in the United States. One of the talks was by Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu.
Combine Dropbox with Ubuntu One
Dropbox is a file hosting service operated by Dropbox, Inc. which uses cloud computing to enable users to store and share files and folders with others across the Internet using file synchronization. There are both free and paid services, each with varying options; the service is cross-platform, with client programs available for several different operating systems as well as a Web-based client.
On the other hand Ubuntu One is a storage application and service operated by Canonical Ltd and is installed by default in Ubuntu Linux 9.10. What sets Ubuntu One apart from the other similar service providers are additional features like the integration with other services.
