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.

This seriously needs to get fixed ASAP. I just got home and realized that my computer at work didn't finish uploading before it shut down. Now I can't work over the weekend unless I go back to the office. This is not the first, nor the second, nor the third time this has happened.
