gotcha for first-time user/s... GUI does not tell u what local folder it's going to sync from/to.... #25

It's entirely non-intuitive to a new user that at the 'Welcome'/'Login' screen with just ONE large login button to press, that you might want to consider instead pressing the tiny little three-bar "Hamburger" widget in the top-right to get to the "Configuration" screen. My experience was that i clicked 'Login' without even knowing the 'Configuration' existed, and as-such then logged in, and it immediately started syncing to completely the wrong folder... and i was unable to immediately figure out how to make it stop. I tried 'closing the entire window' and it went into background mode, and after re-opening it, I tried clicking random other things till i found a 'sign Out' button in the GUI, which I then pressed as quickly as possible, as it seemed the only way to disable the syncing at that time. Only then did I discover the rest of the 'Configuraton' page.

I will try to make it more intuitive, but im not an ui designer... Didnt you see the red button "Stop" to pause the syncing proces?

Acctually im working in an intetface update https://github.com/bcedu/VGrive/pull/20

Ive changed the syncing view to make it more clear.

And i will change the log in view, so i can put a page about "initial configuration" or something like this
