One additional note for everyone, I have experienced repeatedly that if you update your selective sync and if you have added a new root folder from another device, even though you don't see the newly added folder because it takes so long to show up, if you hit "ok" - it WILL sync it to your device you just updated the selective sync on.
Obviously not a common situation to be in, but if you added a big meeting recording folder on a desktop and then were updating some selective sync folders on your laptop... well needless to say your laptop will soon tell you the drive is full and you have no idea why this is the first place to look. Not that I experienced this exact situation and spent hours tracking it down or anything... ;)
