Hey waldalla​, thanks for posting here! 

There's no direct way to create a list or PDF of all your files, and folders that you're syncing with us whether you see them locally on the device, or not.

The one alternative that you can use is what you already mentioned by using the selective sync panel to click through all the folders, and subfolders you use with your account. I know it's not the most convenient thing, but maybe you could use some screenshots of these settings, in order for you to have a visual on your next device too.

I hope this clarifies!
