Bug Description

On the qt Settings tab, there's a checkbox with the label:
"Automatically sync all folders shared with me by other to this computer"
It should be:
"Automatically sync all folders shared with me by others to this computer"

But it still sounds weird. I propose:
"Automatically sync to this computer all folders shared with me"

And then, it might make sense to also change the label that says:
"Automatically sync all selected folders on this computer to the cloud"
to:
"Automatically sync to the cloud all selected folders on this computer"

So, I just realized that the legend:

"Automatically sync to the cloud all selected folders on this computer"

is semantically wrong since what the checkbox does is something like:

"Automatically sync to this computer all folders created by me"

or something similar... that means that if a user has several registered devices, and he creates a new UDF in one, having that setting checked will make the folder be synced automatically between those devices.

As a temporal wording, Leo, Joshua and me decided to go with:

"Automatically sync all folders shared with me to this computer"

"Automatically sync all new cloud folders to this computer"

I will run these by Roberta tomorrow.
