Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

When I open the Ubuntu One directory in Nautilus, the extension adds a
bar which says "Ubuntu One  File Sharing". This string is misleading.

As we know, Ubuntu One is a file synchronization service, ideal for backing 
things up and keeping files consistent between computers. It is not, at least 
in this context, a file _sharing_ service. In fact, seeing that description 
could frighten users into not using it, since it implies that the data they put 
in that folder becomes open for everyone to see!
Granted, Ubuntu One can be used for file sharing by explicitly sharing a file, 
but that string would make sense under the default "Ubuntu One/Shared With Me" 
directory.

I suggest changing the string to something more accurate, for example:
"Ubuntu One  Synchronized files" (although I'm sure someone can think of
a friendlier description).
