Ubuntu は、仮想環境でたまに使ってみる程度の付き合いですが、今日、下記のようなメールが届いて Ubuntu One のサービスが 6 月 1 日をもって終了することを知りました。無料のサービスを起点としたビジネスモデルで、発展していくだけ儲けるっていうのは難しいですよね。
ちなみに、SouceForge.JP Magazine の記事に書いてある微妙な時間のズレは単なる間違い？それとも私の理解不足？

Subject: Ubuntu One file services
Hi,
We are writing to you to notify you that we will be shutting down the
Ubuntu One file services, effective 1 June 2014. This email gives
information about the closure and what you should expect during the
shutdown process.
As of today, it will no longer be possible to purchase storage or music
from the Ubuntu One store. The Ubuntu One file services apps in the Ubuntu,
Google, and Apple stores will be updated appropriately.
As always, your content belongs to you. You can simply download your files
onto your PC or an external hard drive. While the service will stop as of
1 June, you will have an additional two months (until 31 July 2014) to
collect all of your content. After that date, all remaining content will
be deleted.
If you have an active annual subscription, the unused portion of your fees
will be refunded. The refund amount will be calculated from today's
announcement.
We know you have come to rely on Ubuntu One, and we apologise for the
inconvenience this closure may cause. We've always been inspired by the
support, feedback and enthusiasm of our users and want to thank you for
the support you've shown for Ubuntu One. We hope that you'll continue to
support us as together we bring a revolutionary experience to new devices.
The Ubuntu One team
