Stop syncing a folder

Can I stop syncing with a folder?  We have a folder that is very large and my laptop has run out of storage.  I don't need this data on my laptop so is there a way to stop syncing with it?

        Is this only for paid plans?  I cannot find a GEAR icon anywhere and there is no where with PREFERENCES either. In SETTINGS there is nothing about syncing at all.  I'm wondering if something has changed again recently?
