    @Stefan Segers That is on the Mac device I can suppose?

    So selective sync is a great tool to use. As a Dropbox user I also use Selective Sync and I can browse though all folders and sub folders and just sync the subfolders I need to work with.

    You are right. Better remove files from the subfolder and let them converted to placeholders instead of removing from the device this subfolder.

    When I now remove a folder from my Laptop for Selective Sync I get a placeholder for this folder and I can not browse trough the folder to select just 1 file and sync it when I nee d it.

     

  2. @decoherent The option 'Overwrite any changed files'. If enabled, Sync will do the following: 

    1) renamed file in an RO folder will remain there. Besides, the same file with an older name will be re-downloaded
    2) deleted file will be restored
    3) edited file (changed content) will revert 
    to the most recent version supplied by a RW peer
    4) added file will not be deleted, nor will it be synced.

    And Remember that in case of data backup (backup makes use of RO folders), deleting files on your mobile device will NOT delete them on the backup device. Are you sure that the Camear backup option was used on your side?

    Could you send a screenshot?

  3. Encrypted folders on backup machine (the one with F-key only) have Read-Only permissions, "Overwrite any changed files" option is always activated. It means that if you or someone else deletes files on this peer, Sync will download them again from other peers, of course provided they are online and have the files.

    In general RO peers can only read data in a shared folder, therefore if you update (add, delete or modify) files on RO peers, these changes will not be synced to others.
