It doesn't seem like I can just set it to share my ~/Documents folder, and that's a bit disappointing. That sounds like it _should_ be possible though, so I'm asking just in case it is possible.
Is it possible to sync entire existing folders with Ubuntu One?

Not yet but it's something that we'd like to do in the near future.
I do it with a Bash Script. :)
Vincenzo: I see, thank you.
Juan Carlos: I see. A script that automatically copies stuff to your My Files directory?
man rsync :)
In Dropbox a link to the folder in question works well. I wonder if that is true for Ubuntu One as well. Just dragging a folder to "My Files" and holding ctrl+shift did not work, though. Is there another way to create links that will be recognized by Ubuntu One maybe?
I'd prefer giving UO a list of folders that should be synced, though.
(By the way: My biggest beefs with UO are still the non-open soure code and that plans are much more expensive than its biggest competitor's Dropbox)

I'm sure the plans will be re-evaluated before release. It's noted at Launchpad https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client/+spec/plans
