# What's new in Ubuntu One

The [Ubuntu One](http://one.ubuntu.com/) beta is going very well. We have appreciated every bug, IRC message, Launchpad Answers question, and Ubuntu Forums post about the service since the beta launch in early May. This community feedback has been extremely important to the decisions we make and have made in developing the service.

With the release of the [Ubuntu 9.10 Beta](http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/beta) last week which features Ubuntu One as a default option, we thought we’d share a few more recent updates.

**More storage**
Ubuntu One offers two subscription plan options: 2 free GB for everyone’s essential storage needs and a $10 USD plan with more capacity. We’re happy to announce that we have increased the size of the paid plan from 10 GB to an incredible 50 GB. Ubuntu One paid subscribers can now backup, sync, and share more of their music, photos, and movies.

**Expanded services**
Ubuntu One started with files and folders. Now we’re expanding the service to synchronize more desktop applications that people use each day. In Ubuntu 9.10, Ubuntu One will backup and synchronize Tomboy notes, Firefox bookmarks, and Evolution contacts.

**Easy setup**
Ubuntu 9.10 is the first Ubuntu release with Ubuntu One pre-installed. It now only takes a few clicks to enable automatic file synchronization for your Ubuntu computer or computers.

[Subscribe now](https://one.ubuntu.com/plans/) to try out all of these features and more.

**Matt Griffin, Product Manager for Ubuntu One**
