Public bug reported:
On 13.10 the Ubuntu One Indicator does not indicate to the user whether
sync is in progress or not. It simply displays as solid gray cloud (no
animation or change of the icon to indicate when files are being
synced). Notifications are provided every few minutes or so, but this is
IMHO not a good replacement for real-time information.
Use case: User want to avoid shutting down computer while sync is in
progress. Notifications are not useful to let user know whether shutting
down computer at this moment is OK or not.
Workarounds:
1. Click "Current and Recent Transfers" in the indicator drop-down menu
to see what files currently being synced (if any).
2. Open Ubuntu One application and if sync is in progress it will
display "File Sync in progress..."
Both workarounds are a hassle.
Expected behaviour: Indicator icon should somehow indicate that sync is
in progress (animation, color shift, etc.), see for example Dropbox
indicator.
