When selectively syncing, have an option whether to sync new folders/files by default

Feature requests

I wish there was an option to disable syncing new folders/files by default, especially when I am already syncing selectively.

Right now, I only sync 2 folders. I wanted to upload some files for backup purposes (no intention of keeping in my hard drive), I went to the Google Drive website, created a New Folder outside of the folders I chose to sync – it’s automatically synced!

My expectation was, because I only selected to sync 2 particular folders, it would remain that way, even if I create new content in the Google Drive website.

The way it is now, I had to uncheck the new folder manually.

This is definately a “must have”.

This is especially true if you sync among several different computers. I only want certain folders synchronized on each computer. Some are common among all the computers, and some are unique to each computer.

In the current implementation, every time I make a new folder, I need to visit EVERY computer already setup to tell them not to synchronize that new folder!

I was just about stating that the instructions for selective synching does not work… they say “click the selfie”, well here is news to you: “self-explanatory” icons are not self-explanatory! It was bloody difficult finding where to click to find the magic list of folders to sync.

We are working on improving the icons to lessen the confusion. Send us your feedback and suggestion for me to forward this to our designer. We are collating all users feedback to help us design effectively.
