Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

Split out from the more general issue in bug 612998: I don't think it's a good idea to offer syncing of videos by default with such a large banner as we have now. They are usually huge, won't fit (or just needlessly fill up) most people's ubuntuone account, and more importantly, will saturate your upstream internet link for weeks and months, if you click on sync.

Can we please not show the banner in the video dir?
