Bug Description

By default there's no entry for the /apps/ubuntuone/nautilus/show-location key... This causes ribbons (or whatever it's called) to occur when you browse a folder that is not synchronized... Basically advertisement for Ubuntu One...

The ribbon thing can be removed if you right click and choose "Ubuntu One > Hide ribbon" (I had to activate and deativate it twice to get it working). I only discovered this by Googling for a solution...

Anyway, I would recommend that you make it a lot easier to disable this "feature" and/or preferably disable it by default...

Users simply considers it advertisement (See [1]), in which case I would rather pay for an ad-free Ubuntu.

This is not a high priority bug, but I imagine that annoys a lot of users... And it's fairly trivial to solve, just disable the ribbon by default, or put a button in the ribbon that I can use to hide it permanently...

//Regards Jonas
