Default syncing options - DO NOT SYNC PLEASE!

Hello,

In my usage case I do NOT want the default behavior of new folders and files I create in Google Drive to be synced to my computer.

Is there a way currently to have this be the case? I don’t see the option anywhere, and when I create new folders, and files, those new folders and files appear on my computer that is running Insync. At the moment, every time I create a new file or folder, I then go to my PC, right click it, and then click on Insync -> Selectively unsync in the Windows shell extension.

Please advise! :smiley:

Hi @Exorch I apologize for the great delay in my response. Unfortunately as of now that feature is not yet available, however you can selectively unsync it via your Insync desktop app. The team is actively working on this particular feature and I will +1 you on your request. Thank you!

@jaduenas when disabled sync for new folders/files by default is going to be released?
I think it’s a very base feature, because if you have 5 devices it’s quite weird to disable sync new folders each time they are created :confused:

Hi @liminspace! This feature is enabled by default, and can be changed when you navigate to this setting in-app:

For new computers, you can set this up immediately when you add your account/s. Thank you!
