Recover Ubuntuone files after 14.04 installation [duplicate]

I need to restore my documents and folders, since the installation of 14.04 reformatted my harddisk.

I can sign in to Ubuntuone, but I see no way to make it restore the files to my harddisk.


Solution 1:

Ubuntu One has been removed from 14.04. You will no longer be able to get the app, using Software Center.

However, You might like to access/restore your data using (at least) following ways.

  1. You may download all your data directly from https://files.one.ubuntu.com/download.zip as zipped file [Easiest way! Thanks to dobey]
  2. Install UbuntuOne client on on other OSes (Like Windows, Android) and sync.
  3. Use a live cd of an older version of Ubuntu and Install UbuntuOne (I haven't tested but it should work)
  4. Access you file via FTP. It is easy to setup (and I did this right now).

Follow this Video. However, there is a small change in the connection setup. While trying to setup FTP server, use this address

ftp://127.0.0.1:2121

and hit 'Connect'. Everything else should be remain same as tutorial and video.

After connecting to UbuntuOne you will see your files in a directory named "Ubuntu One". Copy the entire directory to your local drive.

REMEMBER, It’s Time to say goodbye to Ubuntu One file services.

Solution 2:

You can download your files as a zip on the Ubuntu One web site now.
