Hi Turtle1994, welcome to our Community! 

If you have a paid plan and want to use Smart Sync on one of your devices, you can absolutely do that.

Smart or selective sync settings are individually set-up for each device you have and do not reflect on others unless you change the settings manually. 

If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know!
