Comment 35 for bug 460072

Same problem here, on both my netbook and my desktop computer.

Every time I select a folder and have it synced with Ubuntu One, the green check mark instantly appears and none of the contents are uploaded. Ubuntu One reports that everything is in sync. The empty folder becomes available on-line and to other computers but no contents appear, even if I leave it for days. The only way to get the files to sync is to kill the ubuntuone-syncdaemon and restart it through the gtk control panel.

So every time I want to sync a folder (this is consistent), I have to go through this exact process:

1) Sync the folder in nautilus
2) In terminal enter "killall ubuntuone-syndaemon"
3) Start ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk
4) Click "Start" to start syncing.

Restarting the computer works too (but suspending or hibernating then resuming). Restarting nautilus does not affect anything.
