How to download all files from Ubuntu One?

I just installed Ubuntu 14.04, and Ubuntu One isn't installed by default and their download page says it comes pre installed, which doesn't help with anything.

I wanna move all my files from Ubuntu One to Dropbox, but downloading one file at a time from the browser and upload it again to dropbox will take way too long.

Is there any way to get Ubuntu One on Ubuntu 14.04? or somehow download all files from the Ubuntu One website?

I see they updated their site: enter image description here


Solution 1:

Follow this guide to connect via FTP, then copy and paste from the new window to your home directory. Here are the steps:

  1. In a terminal:

    mkdir ~/u1ftp
    cd ~/u1ftp
    wget https://launchpad.net/u1ftp/trunk/0.1/+download/u1ftp-0.1.zip
    ln -s ~/u1ftp/u1ftp-0.1.zip u1ftp
    python u1ftp
    

    Leave the terminal open

  2. Open a file browser and click File > Connect to Server... and enter the following:

    Server address: ftp://`localhost`:2121
    Ubuntu One username (email address) and password
    
  3. Wait a moment and your folder pops into view. Copy items from it.

In my experience I encountered several permission errors. I clicked skip-all and expect I'll be missing some items, but they were not critical to me. YMMV.

Solution 2:

There is now an option to download all your files as a zip file, directly from the Ubuntu One website .
