When I right click on a folder, in this case a network shared folder, I see "Upload to Google Drive" and "Share with Google Drive" in the menu. I would guess these are options to either backup or sync, but would like the difference clarified.
Thanks!

Also, if the "Share..." option is a sync to drive, is it a true two way sync?

Both are two way syncs. "Upload to Google Drive" just uploads the file or folder. "Share with Google Drive" uploads and asks you who to share it with.
If you want to set one-way syncs to upload only or download only, then you can do this globally in the Sync menu in the Preferences.
Are you looking for a folder by folder upload or download only setting?

We'll look into the wording.
There is no folder by folder control as yet. We're thinking of adding it as an option, but as yet, it is not a common request.
If you sync a folder outside your Google Drive folder, Syncdocs will create a symlink and sync to this folder.
The older Syncdocs versions (3 and below) would give the option of copying the folder to your main Google Drive folder, but this proved confusing and used more local space, so we create links, which allow one to sync folders from anywhere.
