Shut down computer once dropbox has finished syncing
It would be useful if the computer could shutdown after syncing so that everything has been loaded up.

Actually, a little balloon that reminds you that you are still syncing when you try to shut down might be nice, but that's the limit of it. Remember, the Dropbox concept is not to bother you, but to work WITH you and all your activities on your machines, accepting your activities without complaint. They try to design the client software to be smart and robust, so it doesn't need to be bothering you with all the typical little beeps, bops, and pings that so many other programs do. All those little noids and dings get really annoying, and if you have ever straightened out a machine after its long absence from auto-updates online, you know what I mean. All those seconds here and there responding to prompts and accepting updates add up to a lot of time at the end of the day.
