Shutdown email

An email was sent on 2014-04-11:

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.

"Remember to retrieve your data‏"

Canonical sent this email out to its users on June 21, 2014:

As previously announced, the file services for Ubuntu One have been discontinued. 
Your data is available for download until the end of July - if you haven't taken 
action already, you need to do so now in order to ensure you have a copy of all your data.

In order to make it easy for you to retrieve all of your content, we have released 
a new feature that lets you download all your content at once. 
Our website (https://one.ubuntu.com/) has been updated with instructions on how to conveniently download all your files.

In addition, you still can use Mover.io's offer to transfer your data to another 
cloud provider for free. And the Ubuntu One web interface is available for you to download individual files.

The previously announced option of downloading your files as a zip file is producing unreliable results 
for a small number of users and therefore we have removed that option. If you already retrieved your files 
as a zip file, we encourage you to check for the validity of the zip file contents. If there are problems with 
that file, please use one of the options above to retrieve a complete copy of your data.

Remember that you will have until 31st July 2014 to collect all of your content. After that date, all 
remaining content will be deleted.

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.
