Dropbox works well, but often the tray icon starts spinning forever with the tooltip message "Saving 1 file..."
I usually don't worry about it, and I never had any loss, despite switching computers often. An easy solution is to restart Dropbox, it spins for a second before the tooltip says "All files up to date".

But how to permanently prevent this problem?

Ubuntu 2010.10
Dropbox 0.7.110
Dropbox stores about 50 text files, 1 MB in total.
