Choose folders to sync
Coming over from Dropbox to Box. I have Box Sync installed on all of my devices now and my files transferred. I have one computer with a small amount of storage memory available, and I only want to sync a single folder. I was able to do this in Dropbox, but can't figure out a way to do so with Box.

Hi,
When will Selective Sync by device be available on Box? It has been available on Dropbox for years and is a serious flaw for Box. I simply cannot sync the same folders on my personal and work computers due to space constraints, so Box is pretty much unusable for many of my folders. Does Box have a new ETA for this feature?
Thank you!

The ... menu is next to any individual file or folder. That is the "more options" menu. It doesn't say it unless you mouse over it. You can also just select a folder's row and click the "sync to desktop" option you will see in the right column on the Details tab.
NOTE: You will only see the option to sync in the menu for folders. You cannot sync individual files.

Oh, you mean on the website, not the Windows application. That sets it for all syncing systems. I have multiple computers, and two of them I want all the files synced, but one computer I use just for classes and only want my class folder synced since the computer only has a measly 32GB of storage. Is there a way I can just set it for that one computer to sync that one folder?

Hey and and others,
Box Drive and mark for offline is coming soon! You'll see the feature next week at the end of October!

You'll have ability to mark for offline selected folders from your Box account on selected devices - all your files in your Box account will be accessible to view but won't be taking up space like Box Sync before!
