Re: Can I choose which files to sync when using my Android?
Its official app, it syncs everything on the cloud to the device.. I want some specific folders to be only on cloud, and not sync with my android phone.

The mobile app allows you to view the content in your account, but it doesn't sync like the desktop applications do. The only files stored locally on a mobile device are those you open/view (which are stored temporarily) and those you mark as Available Offline.
- Ok, thanks. I simply wanted that some files be visible only on cloud and not on phone.

That doesn't mean the files are stored on your device; they're just visible. Only those you open or mark as available offline will be downloaded and stored on the phone.
- Thanks a lot.
