Comment 5 for bug 445504

Additionally to comment #4 i would suggest that Files that are synched to the cloud get a suitable emblem to make it stand out compared to other files that are in the same folder. Maybe all Files in the UOne Folder should get an emblem by default to keep recognition of synched files a standard on a system-wide level.

 I actually wrote a little article about that Issue in my Blog, its about Dropbox but the Rationale is the same, i even made some neat little icons going along with it, if you are interested, this is the URL: http://cldx.blogspot.com/2009/10/make-your-dropbox-emblems-look-nice-and.html

Wouldnt it be smarter to just softlink the file to /home/UbuntuOne instead of copying it there? That way it would be easier to find out about the files original location from within the UOne folder as well as keeping Disk Usage lower.

For files that are already synched the option "Right Click->Synch to Ubuntu One" should dynamically change to "Unsynch this File" which should result in a select pop-up with these options:

-Only keep local copy (will destroy all copys from associated devices)
-Keep Device Copys and remove from server (There might be issues with this option since i dont know how UOne handles files that got synched,unsynched and synched again in the same directory since associated devices might recognize this file as new even though its already existent from a previous synch operation)

Unsynching a file would of course remove the emblem.

A synched file should sport a "Right Click->Share with..." option that lets me select several contacts from my AdressBook and gives an additional textbox for a little message going alongside the share URL, this should send Emails (or maybe IM`s??) automatically to the selected Contacts.

I attached my personal Cloud Emblem just to give you a slight idea of what im talking about.
