Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for detecting and providing warnings of potential data loss on termination of a client application of a cloud-based storage system. According to one embodiment, an attempt to log out or otherwise terminate the cloud services client application can be detected and local files at risk of losing data can be identified. A warning can then be presented to the user. For example, a warning can be presented on a display of the client device identifying local files at risk of data loss for various reasons such as those files that are still open by an application, files that are in the process of, but not yet finished, being synchronized, and files that cannot be synchronized. The user can then be given the option to continue or can cancel the termination and attempt to remedy the situation(s) creating the risk of data loss.
