@patrick, i don't usually give off-topic comments on bugs, but i have to argue 
that switching to Dropbox is not a good solution. Don't get me wrong, I believe 
Dropbox is a great product, and I appreciate the fact that it works brilliantly 
on Linux. The Dropbox client is closed-sourced, which renders it less 
trust-worthy. I am writing an AppArmor profile for Dropbox so that I can fully 
restrict its access to my home partition. Before this is done I'm running 
Dropbox in qemu and mounting the folder via sshfs on the host. I wouldn't use 
Dropbox because of privacy concern, I'm only using it now because my girlfriend 
wants to share file with me...
Anyway my point is, the benefit of having an open-sourced client is that users 
can inspect its source code to make sure the program only accesses what it's 
supposed to access.
