<div>I meant more generally in the inner parts of the
operating system. For instance, if I save a file with
Gedit, Apache OpenOffice, Audacity, Nano or whatever, is
that event logged by the operating system somehow? Or if I
delete a file in Nautilus or even in a terminal?</div>

Ah! So you are after some kind of file system auditing capability?
I've never come across this in Ubuntu. There may be something out
there that does it, but I suspect such a system would generate quite
a lot of logging information!<br>

<div>A few years back I used Ubuntu One for some of my
folders, and at least it SEEMED like it somehow was able
to monitor such events and write changed or added files to
the Ubuntu One cloud thing. Or maybe the Ubuntu One daemon
just scanned the folders for changes now and then, I don't
know.</div>

Yes, cloud storage tends to keep track of such things and keeps
older versions of files for you. Certainly Dropbox and OwnCloud both
do this. One of the advantages of 'the cloud'!<br>
