Nautilus extension describes Ubuntu One as "File sharing"

[Dylan McCall]

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

When I open the Ubuntu One directory in Nautilus, the extension adds a bar which says "Ubuntu One File Sharing". This string is misleading.

As we know, Ubuntu One is a file synchronization service, ideal for backing things up and keeping files consistent between computers. It is not, at least in this context, a file _sharing_ service. In fact, seeing that description could frighten users into not using it, since it implies that the data they put in that folder becomes open for everyone to see!
Granted, Ubuntu One can be used for file sharing by explicitly sharing a file, but that string would make sense under the default "Ubuntu One/Shared With Me" directory.

I suggest changing the string to something more accurate, for example: "Ubuntu One Synchronized files" (although I'm sure someone can think of a friendlier description).

Dylan,
Thank you for sharing your ideas and comments about Ubuntu One. It is all the great ideas from users that make Ubuntu so great.

I will be suggesting this be a Wishlist bug as it is a Feature Request or Improvement and not a bug in the actual software.

Please continue to report any bugs you may find in the future,

thank you,

Setting this to triaged/ wishlist as per duanedesign's comment & it has enough info for a developer to work on it.

Hi Mitch, Thank you for all your help! We've recently started a revamped bug workflow that is outlined here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Bugs/WorkFlow Unless it's a bug you think you can fix and work on, we're trying to save the Triaged status for the Ubuntu One team managers/leads to use to signal that they've reviewed the bug and prioritized appropriately. Thanks! Joshua
