Maybe it is easier with Iceweasel bookmarks. I tend to work on different computers, and for now, I synchronize my bookmarks via a plugin, my contacts through Google Mail etc. ie various different external providers, which I'd like to replace by one unique and reliable service (I would prefer by far an open-source service).

Dropbox is really marvellous, and its most interesting feature is that it is multi-platform - One can't stand the comparison for now. I am also a strong partisan of Dropbox vs Ubuntu One.

If I understand others' comments right, the client is free (free speech), but not the server part ?! Do you mean it is closed source?

It doesn't say if changes made to the distribution are persistent and if a space can be spared to the user's data. Drawback for me is that is is in QT (I use GNOME, but that's only a personal taste). I find this sentence written on the project homepage full of irony: <blockquote>If you are having trouble with the Linux version, try the Windows version, it usually works better.</blockquote> I didn’t know unetbootin.
