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.
I would love this feature. I often start some photo export, has to guess how many time it will take, and schedule a shutdown of the computer after this time.
A real case solution would be;
- no automatic "shutdown once synced" option in preference. This has no sense.
- So only one-shot, "man-triggered" feature
- In the dropbox contextual menu, add an item "shutdown computer once synced" (could also be "hibernate on synced")
- on completion, warn the user about a shutdown in 60 sec with a message ballon
- if no user interaction, perform the action (shutdown/hibernate/...)
