There are times when you have limited space on your local drive and have selective sync enabled.
It would be good to also have a checkbox that allows you to ignore the creation of new folders on your local machine that were created by other users.

I'd love this setting. I have the same problem - a second device with limited storage. It'd be great to be able to set the Selective Sync setting to something like "Uncheck by default" so new folders don't automatically add to every device.
