It would be best for the distinction between offline and synced to be clearer.  It's dangerous having the offline status look so similar to the online, synced status.

 

Alternatively, change the offline status to have a circle with an "X" in it.

 

P.S. I appreciate that syncing shows a blue sync icon - at least I can see when I'm actively syncing, and refrain from opening the file prematurely on another computer :)

 

EDIT: It's February, four months later, and I'd still feel more comfortable if it was green.  The grey offline is moderately distinguishable from the white synced, but I have still had a few occasions where it took a few minutes before I squinted at it and realized that it was offline :(
