    Welcome aboard the Community, jnesp! I hope you’re doing well. 

     

    Selective sync isn’t available for mobile devices, since the files on your Dropbox mobile app don’t take up space from your phone, like the ones on the desktop app do. 

     

    As a result, this feature wouldn’t be necessary on your mobile device. 

     

    If you have any other questions though, don’t hesitate to ping me!
