| Mar 21, 2018 at 13:22 | comment | added | Loren Pechtel | @Niavlys You're certainly describing my problem. I've got a few pieces of junk that end up in my Dropbox folder due to a synchronization program on my computer--and they get backed up. | |

By contrast, this Selective Sync simply allows to delete some local folders while keeping them only on your Dropbox account, "in the cloud." | |

Or just help us on this request for a better way to solve this dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/… | |
