I made a shortcut to my home folder by dragging and dropping it to the panel.
Is there a way that I can drag and drop files to that applet in order to save the file
in the folder location?
What I really want is to make a shortcut to one of my Ubuntu One folders, that when I drag and drop a file, selected text or url to that applet, it saved the dropped 'element' in the folder for synchronization purposes.
EDIT
Like the trash can but with a custom selected folder.

The following script will act according to your desciption. I believe this is not the best approach for this situation, but there is not an applet with the functionality described by you that I know of.
Create a file in your home folder with the following content:
Make sure you replace "/home/user/Ubuntu One" with your ubuntu one folder. Now create a new custom launcher, and fill in "sh /path/to/the/created/file". The new launcher should work with clicking and drag and drop.
I hope this works for you. A custom Ubuntu One applet with this sort of behaviour would be nice.
