[Remove a file from mobile with selective sync]

Don't you think it could be a feature that can be implemented in the future?

My use case is quite common I think. I want the full synchro of a subfolder B of a synced folder A, but I've not enough space on my device to fully download the folder A.

Okay, thank you for your reply. This is what I was afraid of

I was expecting to find a way to automatize this process (to avoid doing the manual deletion in the Sync app).

[Remove a file from mobile with selective sync]

Hello,

I would like, from my Android tablet running Resilio Sync, to delete a file from a folder in "selective sync" mode, and this deletion to be propagated to my other devices.

Currently, if I'm not wrong, the only way to achieve this, is to delete the file from the Sync application.

Indeed, deleting the file from any other application, like the file explorer, delete the file from the device only. The deletion is not propagated.

This "problem" has already been discussed here:

Is there any way to achieve this without manually deleting the file from the Sync application? Even if it involves scripting.
Or to disable the "on demand" mode? I don't mind editing internal settings files.

Just to explain, here is my use case. I have several GB of pictures stored on a NAS (with Sync running), spread over several sub-folders. And I would like to manage them from my tablet. By manage, I mean: see, modify, rename, and delete. Because I cannot sync the whole folder to my tablet (size is too big), I kept the selective syncing on and I sync to my tablets only the sub-folders I would like to work on. While sorting the pictures, with a third party app, I very often decide to delete a specific picture. But to propagate the deletion, then I need to switch to Sync app and manually delete the pictures from here. Not very convenient...

This behavior is different from Dropbox, for example, where a deletion of a file inside a folder "selectively synced" is propagated to the other devices.

Many thanks for any advice!
