Hey @Windo, hope you’re well and sorry for jumping in.
I can confirm it’s not possible to use selective sync for the personal team member folder that’s been created on the Dropbox team.
However, a workaround I can suggest is to create a subfolder within that folder and move your files/folders inside. You should be able to unselect this one via your selective sync settings.

Hi @Nancy
Thanks for your feedback. I mean, I already described what is "not possible".
I thought this is the idea section... ??
So every one is telling me what I could not do or else do. But I want to disable this Folder. and it is annoying me that Dropbox has to tell me which Folder I can and which I can not deselect. Its just stupid 🙂
So my idea is to change that. And I think many people would welcome it.
