Why Dropbox cannot implement such a seemingly simple request is beyond me. I pay for it for myself and my company pays for it for their own use.

Normally, I won't complain when I'm using a free service, but this is such a small, GUI-only, feature to add.

It's a huge annoyance for me as well, every time I install Dropbox on a new system. I've regrettably had to switch to a competitors product, which though deficient in many ways, does Selective Sync in reverse - ie: you check the folders you want when running the app on each new device. We have been using dropbox forever and this is such a flaw. At least make the mouse press work while you hold it down and scroll. We resintalled on 3 different machines and it took forever to have selective sync work correctly. I also just had to do this over and over again. I feel like I ought to get a discount every time I have to do this. Just went through it after setting up a new laptop and had to manually uncheck 200+ folders. I did that but dropbox still shows the same old folders. Not only that but if you have 100 folders it takes like 15 minutes to show them all.Īlso someone said, just put your many folders into a few main folders. Those who want pure simplicity can have the existing version.Īny updates? I just unchecked 100 folders. I think Dropbox has come of age adequately that it needs a Advanced User Version (I'm willing to pay more for it) with all these features we so desperately crave.

I've never seen a piece of software that did not have a select all and deselect all option when presenting a list of items. I just spent 15 minutes unchecking every file I did not want to sync.

We may not be replying to every single post but we're reading these, indeed We're actively reading threads like this and your comments and thoughts are important to us.

Whether adding DB to a new computer or just making wholesale changes to my sync, I'd like to be able to deselect ALL the folders in Selective Sync. It is unbelievable that this simple functionality can't be accomplished. Very annoying that such a basic feature is not available. Three times I've had to setup Dropbox on different computers and uncheck over 1000 directories ( for one of the more expensive options out there, simple things like this should not b an issue. defeat the whole purpose of having the root folder.Īnd yes, uncheck all seems like a no brainer. Why are both of these still an issue? I have a 32gb tablet, and I don't want to toss all the files in root to another folder. I now have to deselect around 100 folders one by one.

This is a disaster when you have a lot of folders and no means to deselect them all. Unbelievable this is still not an option. You pretty much are fooling the DB app into thinking the file is a folder and not syncing it. If you MUST unsync a file in the root folderġ) Rename the file from FILE.EXT to FILE.EXT_Ģ) Create a folder named "FILE.EXT" (no quotes and keep the file extension)ģ) Selectively UNSYNC that folder from the computerĤ) Via the web remove the folder "FILE.EXT"ĥ) via the web rename the file FILE.EXT_ to FILE.EXT Unsyncing files in the root folder is complex, it would be better to move them to a subfolder and then unsync that.

The check/uncheck all was asked for years ago, seems like they cant master how to do it. I also want to have a way NOT to sync the files in my root folder. It would be very helpful to have a "uncheck all" checkbox in the dialog box, so I only have to check the one folder I want to share. I need to use Selective Sync to pick which folders. I have a laptop with a small SSD so I can't allocate much space for DB. I have many folders and files in my main computer's dropbox. Selective Sync suggestion - way to uncheck all folders This is how I replied to the study to make DropBox better:
