Is it possible to sync one special directory only once per 24 hours?
I want to sync one special directory only during the night hours, all the other directories have to be sync constantly, how to do that?

Hi @Kird54, thanks for messaging the Community!
Currently, there isn't any feature to sync certain directories at different times, since all files and folders will sync constantly.
Is this directory already inside the Dropbox folder, or is it outside the folder?
This will help me to assist further!
Hi Jan, Thanks for your reaction. It has to do with my Outlook directory (70 GB) which is inside the Dropbox file. Outlook is always open on my computer, this implicates that Dropbox is trying to sync it all the time which slows down my computer. Of course I can make the Outlook directory on line so the sync it self doesn't effect my computer directly, the downside is that if need to do a search in that directory it's not instant available like it's in the off line situation.
