Except the fact that you have to access the status of the files using a very odd work around if you are a beginner mac user like I am but that's not the fault of dropbox I don't think. If apple could make all the icons visible int he status menu then we would not have to use the track pad. As for the prefs I like to change them to meet my needs and right now I cannot do that. There is no way for example to change the bandwith for example to unlimited or a way to tell it to take all of my bandwith Not with out sighted help.
