I love file-sharing platforms like Ubuntu One. Up to now I used Dropbox and there you can see the progress of uploading (with moving the mouse-cursor over the Dropbox icon on the lower right edge).

In Ubuntu One I don't see a way to control the progress of uploading. I really miss that function, because it seems to synchronise quite slow (a 22 MB file is syncing for several minutes now).

Is there a way to control the progress?

Are you looking for a progress bar or for an indicator that shows what Ubuntu One is doing? – Exeleration-G Jan 2 '12 at 12:22
Both would be helpful. I don't see a progress bar at my screen and i didn't know what U1 was doing until i installed the packed decribed by giowck (see below). – LukeST Jan 2 '12 at 17:24

There is an ubuntu one indicator, but I never tested it: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/the-omg-guide-to-must-have-indicator-applets/

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. – RolandiXor♦ Jan 2 '12 at 16:06

Thank you, that's great help. Now i have a little cloud at the top bar and it shows me most of the wanted information. – LukeST Jan 2 '12 at 17:18
@Roland Taylor, yes you're right, next time I will include a full answer. – giowck Jan 2 '12 at 20:36
@giowck: btw I use this indicator too on both my laptops :D – RolandiXor♦ Jan 3 '12 at 0:07

In the Ubuntu One settings application there is an option to allow setting the maximum upload and download bandwidth used. Look under the "Devices" tab in the Ubuntu One application.

Thank you for that hint. But i have that box checked and no progress bar is visible. Now i have and indicator at the top (see that hint below), that's helping me a lot. – LukeST Jan 2 '12 at 17:18

Ubuntu One client shows a progress bar and when it's running, you can see a progressbar on the clients launcher as well.

A progress bar would help me a lot. But i don't see one. Am i blind or do i do something wrong??? Please look to this screenshot: ubuntuone.com/6RXlpZgiCnebxEpFK9nh77 Where is a progress bar that shows me what part of the file "9. 11. 1918 ..." i actually been loaded up? – LukeST Jan 2 '12 at 16:30
Perhaps I remembered wrong. Seing the screenshot from fader, it may have been that progressbar I thought about. Sorry. But if you run the client and look at the Launcher on the left side of the screen, does it have a progressbar? – Jo-Erlend Schinstad Jan 2 '12 at 21:06
No, i never have seen any progressbar with U1. Should there be any or was it in older versions? – LukeST Jan 4 '12 at 23:10
