We'll grey it out in the next version. Or perhaps also let local folders be selected, which makes the selective feature more useful? </p> http://www.syncdocs.com/forums/topic/selective-folder-sync-does-not-work#post-578 Mon, 23 May 2011 11:32:15 +0000 Kevin Gabbert 578@http://www.syncdocs.com/forums/ <p>So its a feature? I hadn't really thought of it that way. I was using it more as a "backup" solution, pointing it to an existing folder and only checking "Upload local files to Google", much like you would with Picasa.</p> <p> Using it that way, I guess, then you should gray out the "Selective Folder Sync" section when only "Upload local files to Google" is selected, as otherwise it sends a confusing message. </p> http://www.syncdocs.com/forums/topic/selective-folder-sync-does-not-work#post-575 Mon, 23 May 2011 11:13:34 +0000 Phil 575@http://www.syncdocs.com/forums/ <p>You are correct, Selective folder sync selects the Google folders to sync, not the local ones.</p> <p>If you don't want a local folder synced, it is best not to put it into the "My Google Docs" folder.</p> <p>-Phil </p> http://www.syncdocs.com/forums/topic/selective-folder-sync-does-not-work#post-574 Mon, 23 May 2011 10:50:14 +0000 Kevin Gabbert 574@http://www.syncdocs.com/forums/ <p>As the only way I can uncheck a folder is to wait until it is backed up, it creates issues for whenever I don't want it sync'd (like the subfolder with all my picasa photos)</p> <p>1. Start sync'ing<br /> 2. notice that it is sync'ing a folder you want to ignore<br /> 3. go into preferences and uncheck it.<br /> 4. Go into Google docs and move it in the trash<br /> 5. after syncdocs gets going again, watch it reappear. </p>
