Bug Description

Several of the items in the U1 sync menu need an ellipsis in order to fit into Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.

The guidelines state, "When it appears in the name of a button or a menu item, an ellipsis character (…) indicates to the user that additional information is required before the associated operation can be performed. Specifically, it prepares the user to expect the appearance of a window or dialog in which to make selections or enter information before the command executes."

The following items should have an ellipsis:
Share a File
Get More Storage
Get Help Online

HIG for using Ellipsis:

U1 app version is 4.0.1
