Ubuntu One cannot backup your files. If you delete a file from either Ubuntu or Windows. It will get deleted from both as well as from the Ubuntu One server on the web. – user68186 Dec 10 '12 at 21:00

Is this a dual boot system or are you talking of two different computers? In the former case there's an easier solution. – To Do Dec 10 '12 at 22:08
There's also dropbox, which I find incredibly useful. – Brandon Bertelsen Dec 10 '12 at 23:48

Yes, there is Ubuntu One client for Windows.

I believe it should be possible.

Just install Ubuntu One on both Windows and Ubuntu.

Say you have a folder Documents in Ubuntu and you want it to be synced between Windows and Ubuntu. Then just select Sync Locally for that folder in both the Ubuntu and Windows - Ubutnu One Client.

It is. You can install an Ubuntu One client in Widows (just follow the instructions on the Ubuntu One website), log in with your account and start syncing.

OK, I knew there was a client for windows, I just wanted to make sure I could share the same file in windows and ubuntu. – Jason Dec 10 '12 at 21:02
