Hello, As you may have already noticed, the check marks appear over the file icons even if the files are not yet synchronized. This is a result of bug #479475[1] that caused file emblems not to update properly on file addition (i.e. unsynchronized state), upload and download. The patch is ready for review and it is possible that the fix will go to Ubuntu updates.
However I suspect an issue with the current handling of "unknown" status. When the new file is put to into Ubuntu One directory, it immediately receives 'synchronized' emblem (check mark) in order to be replaced with its real status later. This approach makes it hard to track whether the file is really synchronized or the sync service has not had the chance to check file metadata yet. I would like you to share your opinion about how the files in "unknown" state should be represented in the User Interface. In case you've never seen these emblems, there is an image from the bug report[1] displaying all the emblems[2]: * 0x0018.ogg is synchronized (check mark) * linux-image-....deb is being synchronized (colorful emblem) * support_human_rights.jpg is not synchronized (non-colorful emblem) My opinion is that all "unknown" files should carry "not synchronized" emblem.
