Hi there!

I think the tilte explains itself.

I have a shared folder named "MainFolder" which contains folders "A" to "Z".

How can I get just the whole content of "MainFolder\C", "MainFolder\C\C1\" or whatever locally?

Thank you in advance.

Check that Selective Sync is enabled for the share. Right-click the share under Sync GUI, and turn on Selective Sync toggle there.

step 1: Selective Sync ON -> https://ibb.co/kkjPTe step 2: Download subfolder -> https://ibb.co/hwkW8e

there is no way to do that

Please, check that you are using NTFS filesystem, the extension is not working on FAT.

Hi mugrex

Selective Sync feature of Resilio Connect is available only for Windows and MacOS. You may right-click the folder or file and choose "Sync to this device" or "Remove from this device" from there. If using on folder the action is been applied to all sub-folders and files.

Hi Vlad,

yes, I understand how that works but that does not answer my question.

If the Resilio Shared Folder is "MainFolder", what do I have to do to sync ONLY "MainFolder\C\C1\" locally?

Select the folder you'd like to sync, right-click it and choose "Sync to this device".

That could be done on any folder you want.
