By enabling selective sync in a tresor, you can exclude certain files and folders from syncing to your computer, which comes in handy if you don’t have enough space on your hard drive to store all the data.
🏆 Pro tip: If you only want to sync the content of one subfolder, then right-click and select sync this folder from the dropdown list.

📝 Note: You can turn the selective sync off, by unselecting the folder from the list in the above described way. Once the sync is turned off, you will still have the local copy of the previously synced folder. You can delete any unsynced folder from the computer; as this is not syncing anymore, so modifications will not be replicated in the cloud.
