This is the only one I think we have a strong defense for - when I pop
open my netbook on a tiny little mobile phone tethered internet
connection to send an important email, I don't really want Ubuntu One
using all the bandwidth to sync down the 20 new screenshots that my
colleague has dropped into our shared folder.

I wonder how/where to easily let people enable/disable U1 syncing (which
is really a simplified case of people needing to choose between
different syncing policies depending on where they are connected from).
