If a file is in your Dropbox folder, it's going to sync. If you don't want it to sync, move the file out of your Dropbox folder to another location on your computer.
how do i move it out of that folder?
Hey @ckr sorry to jump in, but I just wanted to mention that you should be able to move the files out of your Dropbox folder as you would from any other folder on your computer.
Also, if you'd like to pause syncing, you can follow these steps.
