Hey morashmedia, sorry to jump in here.
Would you mind sending us a screenshot of what you see when you uncheck a folder in the selective sync settings?

Hi morashmedia, this seems to be the normal selective sync window. A minus symbol here means that you've selected a fold, but not all of the subfolders are selected.
Technically, only the folder structure, the files in the root of each folder, and the final folder, should be syncing to your computer.
