I was under the impression, perhaps mis-formed, that Ubuntu One (the 
database) would have allowed database synchronizing via Ubuntu One (the 
file sync service), which you signed into with your Ubuntu One (the 
authentication service) login.  If that's not the case, the confusion 
is your* own damn fault for giving them all the same name.

Are there any public U1DB servers out there?  If not, this is about as 
useful to most people as being able to compile your own kernel.
