Can I see my folders in selective sync when on the website?
Hi. Is it possible to see which folders are in Selective Sync when I'm on dropbox.com? Henrik

No idea what happened to the rest of your question, however, the answer is still no, I'm afraid.
Simply put its because, as Rich said, Selective Sync is per computer. So you could have 3 devices all with different Selective Sync preferences on them.

Ok:-)
A little strange, what happended to the rest of my latest question? I wrote this:
"Hi Rich, thanks for the response. What I mean is, is it possible, when you are on dropbox.com, to see which folders are in Selective Sync. If there is a symbol that shows it, like the symbols for "off line only" or "online only" when I'm in the dropbox on my computer? If you see what I mean:-)"

No. Selective Sync is a per-computer setting and can only be changed from the device. There are no Selective Sync settings on the Dropbox website.
