How to change the behavior of selective sync, in order not to sync online newly added folders?

Can I change the default behavior of Dropbox so that newly shared folders are not automatically downloaded on every PC? I have several PCs (3x Desktop, 1x Laptop) and I don't want files to be downloaded on every machine, just because someone shared a new folder with me.

Hi @phillip, happy Wednesday! 

 

At the moment we don't have that usability when using our selective sync feature.

 

Your feedback regarding this has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.

 

I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

 

If you need anything else, let me know!
