How can I unsync a folder from my computer?
Hi,
I just begin to use Dropbox. I'm trying the personal plus plan now with 2T space. The main purpose to use Dropbox is to provide backup for some of my important data on my Synology NAS. I have backed up the data and stored in a folder(Hyperbkpdata). It's about 400G. And then I found the desk app is also very convenient. So I installed the desktop app and use it for some small files online.
However, after two days, I found the Hyperbkpdata folder was synced to my desktop and make my desktop disc almost full. So I tried to find setting do disable the sync of this folder. But I couldn't find any.
Can someone give me any clue?

Hi @johnqhu,
The way to do so is to selectively unsync all folders you don't want to be on particular machine. 😉
Hope this helps.
