I would just like to put my vote in for a selective sync feature, similar to what I've seen several other people request on the wishlist. The selective sync feature would allow users to choose to download only selected folders or files that are stored on other systems. This is important for mobile devices where you might not have enough storage to sync all the files that you are already syncing across higher capacity PCs.

@rdebath - Thanks for clarifying. I have taken your advice and posted this suggestion to the wishlist.

Here is my wish: the ability to download files from peers without syncing. This would allow scenarios where you setup syncing between 2 or 3 PCs with large excess storage capacities and then access individual files on an as-needed basis from remote devices or systems without having to sync the entire contents of the shared file store. For example, you might be syncing 2TB of videos, music tracks and photos across 3 PCs owned by different members of your extended family. Periodically you might want to download one specific picture or video to your phone or laptop but you wouldn't want to have to sync the entire contents of the share.

Is it possible to use access files stored via Sync from a device you don't want to "sync"? I have several PCs that I want to be able to sync files with but I would like to be able to access those files from other systems and devices without requiring that ALL the files be synced to those other systems. Is this possible? Here is the scenario. I have two PCs with an extra 2TB of file storage available. I want to setup sync between those systems to share all the videos, music, photos and other data that my family has. However, I would sometimes like to be able to remotely download just one or two videos or pictures that are stored on those 2 PCs from my phone or a friend's PC without requiring a general sync of the entire 2TB file share. Can Sync be used in this way?
