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.
Dropbox team are you listening? - surely it's an obvious option for people working on large projects. I want to let files sync and go to bed, not hand around or waste electric with a 2 hour upload/download.
a simple desktop shortcut or button in the dropbox menu will do it. It cannot be on persistently as dropbox does not know when the user is leaving the desk.
but a shortcut or button "goodnight dropbox" and walking away from the PC would be perfect!
At the moment I work around with a batch file to shutdown with a best guess timeout, but would be so much better built in.
