Setting up your one file syncing server is pretty easy now with this code and they have put a detailed setup guideline here:

To give most freedoms for its users the code is released under GPL by Canonical and anyone can modify it without any need to sign a contributor agreement to modify the code. Developers can fork the code and start working on their own project. You can download the source code from https://launchpad.net/filesync-server.

Do you think Canonical has made the right decision to open source Ubuntu One file syncing service code? Let us know in comments.
