Tighter integration with an OS would be a good point. It's possible to open a file in your dropbox folder that's only partially synced and BANG!
If it popped up a dialog saying hold on, just syncing, it would be a lot better.
That's the biggest thing an OS vendor could easily bring to the table (other then a large pile of cash). Other then that. I can't see any upsides.

I prefer the idea of access to a folder that's out of sync than the inevitable frozen loading bars, 'loading' for all eternity and denying me access. A pop-up notice from the taskbar, or perhaps a background color change for folders still syncing, is as far as I'd take it.
- dazzawazza 16y agoAs I say, I'd only do it when you open a file, not a folder. Of course looking at a folder is fine but opening a file that isn't really all there is not a good user experience!
