Introduction
The desktop app offers a powerful tool called "Selective Sync." It allows you to decide which folders and files you want to keep in sync with your computer. This is useful when you have a large amount of data stored in the cloud and want to save space on your local device. It allows you to choose which files and folders you want to synchronize with your device, rather than syncing everything by default.
Note that our Sync folder is not the same as backup.
Setting Up Selective Sync
Option 1: During Installation
When you're installing the desktop app, you'll come across the "Sync folder" page.
Here, choose "Pick the folders you want to sync."
Option 2: After Installation
No worries if you missed it during installation; you can still set up selective sync after the app is installed and running:
Open the desktop application.
Head to the "Files" section.
Click on the "Sync folder" tab.
Look for "Selective sync" and click on it to begin.
Setting Up Selective Sync
You'll see a list of folders available for synchronization.
To select a folder for sync, just click the checkbox next to its name.
Once you've made your choices, hit "Done" to save your preferences
Important Tips:
Deleting Synced Folders: If you decide to delete a folder from the sync folder (provided it's selected for sync), it will disappear from both your computer and your Cloud account.
Pausing Sync: If you change your mind about a folder before it's fully uploaded, deselecting it will pause the syncing process. Don't worry; it won't vanish from your computer or the cloud. To save space on your computer, you'll need to remove it from the sync folder.
