Shut down computer once dropbox has finished syncing

Shut down computer once dropbox has finished syncing

It would be useful if the computer could shutdown after syncing so that everything has been loaded up.

I want to revive this. I use DB for a lot of large media files. Right now I need to leave and have 1 hour before the Client's Upload is complete. I won't be back for 24 hours, and don't need my machine on after the sync completes. My antiviris provides a 'shutdown when complete if nothing detected' feature -- why can't DropBox?

I was looking for this feature.. and just found out that it's not available YET. Please update this! This'd be so useful. I totally agree that it can be little like a check box option available somewhere in the options. I sometimes need to leave my house and still have tons of files to sync, which can take up to 3-5 hrs. But I don't want my computer to be on till I come back. 

Need more support?
