There is no magic "I'm a bad boy, I know, let me play as root" flag. ;)

But there is in file /usr/lib/ubuntuone-syncdaemon:

    # check we're not running as root, or have explicitely and in
    # length expressed our desire to do so
    if not (os.geteuid()
            or options.im_ok_with_being_root_pretty_please_let_me_be_root):
        die("Please don't run the syncdaemon as root.")

Must be :

    # check we're not running as root, or have explicitely and in
    # length expressed our desire to do so
    #if not (os.geteuid()
    #        or options.im_ok_with_being_root_pretty_please_let_me_be_root):
    #    die("Please don't run the syncdaemon as root.")

Why must be ?
Because Linux is free.
Free.
