Ubuntu one file services going to shut down

Canonical is planning to shut down it's ubuntu one File services from 1-June-2014.That means the ubuntu lovers will not be able to purchase music or storages from the ubuntu one from 1-june-2014.

But ubuntu clearly stated that the contents still belongs to us and if we have uploaded some files in the ubuntu one then we are still free to download the contents from ubuntu one till 31-july-2014.

But after this deadline all the datas will be automatically deleted.But they have have promised to release the ubuntu one file services as open source with source codes so that we can have our own file syncing services developed.

The reason behind the shutting down is because of the huge investments involved in maintaining storage services which rather ubuntu likes to invest in making their open source platform absolute best.

Meanwhile they also stated that the Ubuntu one facility will be excluded from the Next version of ubuntu named as Ubuntu 14.0.4 LTS release.

Customers who have an active annual subscription will have their unused fees refunded. We will calculate the refund amount from today’s announcement, even though the service will remain available until 1 June and data available for a further two months.
