I believe this is the right place to post some suggestions, if I'm wrong please say where I can do it.

First of all thank you very much for giving this excellent backup possibilities. Even in those few days I have been able to recover a lost file via Ubuntu One and I haven't encounterred ennoying bugs.

But like every program, there are still things that can go better. For example the system notifier: if you click on it all you can do is disconnect with the server, you have to right click to see other options. For me the most important is seeing what files are (not) synced (and not only how many) or opening the Ubuntu One folder. So I would put this options in the left-click handler.

Another thing I saw is that the V's to indicate a file is synced don't make sense. All the files always show V's even if I know this couldn't be synced in such a short time.

My final suggestion is in fact a question. Why is there a space in the folder name 'Ubuntu One'? It makes it more difficult to work with it in command line or in scripts. Giving the possibility to sync every folder with Ubuntu One would also solve this.
