Can you put the selective sync option in the icon drop-down menu for the desktop app?
It takes way too many clicks to access selective sync.
Please put it in the icon pop-up menu.

Dropbox Product ManagerHey, BobJ -- Thanks for reaching out! I'm on the Product team at Dropbox, and I'd love to learn a bit more about your request for our team.
To start, I'd love to hear a bit more about how you're using Selective Sync. Can you give me a sense of your workflow and how frequently you're accessing it?
As far as your specific request: are you envisioning this in the right-click menu when you're browsing files in your Finder/Explorer? Or are you asking about adding this to the dropdown menu when you click your account/avatar in the top-right corner of the Desktop Tray (the surface that opens when you click the Dropbox icon in the menubar/taskbar)?
Thanks so much!
Cheers,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
So I have multiple computers, both Mac & PC. Been using Dropbox for as long as I can remember.
The thing is, a lot of Macs come with 512GB or less, and I use the selective sync a bunch since a lot of the files I use are large. For this, I use Selective Sync often.
The problem with using the Keep on Cloud only is that you still have to dig through folders, select all the files, etc.
Thanks!
