No, you need to add these rules to the .SyncIgnore of the parent folder you're syncing in order to exclude a sub-folder from the sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed Cat Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Just a side note: That way you'll end up with an empty 'subfoldername' directory.If you want to exclude it entirely leave the /* suffix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only cravat with omitting the /* is that if you happen to also have a file in the parent directory with the same name as the sub folder you wish to exclude, BOTH would be excluded from Sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
