Same phone, different folders

Question

I'm sharing Ubuntu One with my girlfriend, who has the same smartphone as me.

As a result both the phone's pictures end up in the same folder.

Is there a possibillity to use different folders?

You change the name of the uploads directory from the app on the phone. This is a duplicate of [this question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/72647/change-name-of-mobile-android-device) Have a look and see if that solves it for you. — Tom Brossman, Feb 12 '12 at 16:22
@TomBrossman - whilst the solution maybe similar, I think the question is possibly different enough to warrant not marking this as a duplicate. Please can you add an answer with as much detail as possible? — fossfreedom, Feb 15 '12 at 15:25

No problem at all. The answer is to make new destination folders your Ubuntu One directory on the computer, then point the phone app at these new folders on both phones.

First, add the desired folder(s) inside your /home/Ubuntu One/ folder on the computer, like this:

Ubuntu One destination folders

Now, open up the Ubuntu One Files app on the phones. You should see the folders you just created on the list, like this:

If you don't see the folders, touch the 'two arrows in a circle' icon on the right of the orange bar above to force a sync.

Now, press 'Menu' on the phone, and select 'Configure auto-upload'

Next, select 'Upload directory'

On either phone, select the different directories. That's your save location now.

Thanks to karni for the instructions posted in this question, it's what I based this on.
