SD is trying to sync my entire GDrive when I've only selected ONE folder in the SD preferences. I have a 1TB GDrive and only need ONE folder synced to my work machine.
How do I get SD to stop syncing my entire GDrive? I have rechecked the folder pick setting multiple times and SD is still trying to sync my entire GDrive. Thank you!

Syncdocs
In the Preferences menu, have you unselected the folders that you do not wish to sync?
If you only want to sync a specific folder on GDrive, then do the following:
1. right click on the Syncdocs taskbar icon and select the "Folders" Tab.
(if you do not see a "Folders" tab, click on "Advanced options..." button to see it)
2. Click on the "Select" button.
3. Uncheck the options to sync new shared files and folders and the option to sync top level Google folder files.
4. Uncheck all folders and folders shared with you except the folder you want to sync.
5. Clock OK.

As stated, I already have those as my settings. See screenshot here: https://imgur.com/Rb2zquY

Is Syncdocs syncing all the folders, or just some files that are in the folders? Google Drive is different to normal file systems found on Windows or Macs in that it allows files to be in more than one folder. So you could have a file or folder in WORK and the same file or folder could also be in another top-level folder as well. You can check this in the "Details" tab on Google Drive.
