Is selective sync still an option for the desktop app for Windows?
Hello I recently got a new laptop (PC) and I would like to recreate my old dropbox setup. I used to have the option to See all my dropbox folders yet mark the ones (via right click) that I wanted to ...
Hi Jay,
Thanks for those. The former sounds like closest to what I want. To clarify, will marking the whole Dropbox folder online-only allow me to see the name of all the folders and sub-folders (even though no contents).
And how can I do this in retrospect? I either didn't see this option or didn't pursue it because when I completed a selective sync on a user that had all the folders and subfolders synced (name only no contents) - all the folders and subfolders were removed after the selective sync, which prompted this question!
Thank you!

Dropbox Community ModeratorMarking the whole folder as online-only will allow you to see the structure of your Dropbox folder without it taking up space on your machine.
If you check all the folders in the selective sync window, they'll automatically become online-only folders. You can make sure of this by right clicking them and choosing this option when they begin to sync on your machine.
