Storage Made Easy

 This note is prompted by Canonical announcing the shutdown of UbuntuOne-file-sync-service. I think they are giving users until May 2014 to grab their data. I have no other option but use GDrive. Also I’m tidying up the file structure of my GDrive so I’ll have an easier time using it now. I’m making this document the first one I am making and saving for the year 2014. Maybe I’ll have a luckier road with GDrive as my online storage. I still am looking for a tool to synchronize the folder in my local file structure with GDrive.

How To Solve Auth_Failed Error In Ubuntu One

If you're getting an error like this when you open ubuntu one client, then it means the token file saved in your hard drive is corrupted and useless. You have to generate a fresh one and restart the ubuntu one daemon. I will recommend you read this helpful documentation from Ubuntu One for completeness. Run Seahorse (alt+F2, then type seahorse). If you're using Unity just use the power key+A, then type Password and Keys, Enter key. Filter the keys by typing ubuntu one. Right-click on the specific tokens and delete them. Close Seahorse after you're done. Open the Ubuntu One client and it should prompt you to login. Follow the login steps. Just like when you first run Ubuntu One in your computer.

Ubuntu One Auth Failed Error

I have been seeing these error in Ubuntu One client since yesterday and wondering if a recent update is the source. I checked my account via web and the last time any file was sync was 20 hours ago. Should I be worried? I can obviously login via web to my account using my passwords. Are Ubuntu One servers limiting how many times I can access or sync my files? Is this a real software problem? Is this a configuration problem?
