Sync only some folders to other device

[surr3a1]

Hello and I'm sorry if there is an answer to this hidden somewhere in the forum.

I want to choose a folder PICS to be synced from my PC at Home.

At work I want only some of the internal folders existing in PICS to be synced e.g. not my 'sensitive' pictures.

Is there any way to do so? I know that it is not possible to do with the free version but is it possible to do that with the Pro? From what I understand the Selective Sync is not exactly what I am looking for.

 

Thank you!

Selective sync recreates the whole file structure on all devices. So you see the files, but they have no content, they are empty, they are just placeholders. If you decide you want a file or folder, you right click on it and select to sync it, too. So for sensitive files, as you said, maybe not so ideal. 

But what you could do, for example if your folder structure looks like:

- PICS
  + Private
  + Public

Instead of adding the folder PICS to resilio, you add Private and Public individually, then you can only add Public at your work, and add both Private and Public on your private machines.

Hello Frank,

Yes, this is an easy task but when you have 50 sub folders, then it is impossible to not sync only 2 or 3 of them and this is where the problem lies.

Thank you!

You can also work with the SyncIgnore file found in every share you create. You can selectively disable certain folders OR files to be excluded from syncing.
