Selective sync of individual documents

Hi! I am trying to do selective sync, but it only gives me the option for folders, not for separate documents that are NOT in any folder. Is there such an option? The goal is for these separate documents not to appear on my app. I want them only in online dropbox. Thanks!

    Hi 646 

    No, sorry, Selective Sync works on folders only, not individual files.
