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.
