We are aware of the issue with the badge emails resending to everyone, we apologise for the inconvenience - learn more here.
I have many folders and files in my main computer's dropbox. I have a laptop with a small SSD so I can't allocate much space for DB. I need to use Selective Sync to pick which folders. By default all folders are checked. 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 also want to have a way NOT to sync the files in my root folder.
Using Mac OS 10.9
Unbelievable this is still not an option. This is a disaster when you have a lot of folders and no means to deselect them all. I now have to deselect around 100 folders one by one.
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. defeat the whole purpose of having the root folder.
and yes, uncheck all seems like a no brainer. for one of the more expensive options out there, simple things like this should not b an issue.
Yes please. This is an absolute must. Three times I've had to setup Dropbox on different computers and uncheck over 1000 directories ;(
Very annoying that such a basic feature is not available.
I just spent 15 minutes unchecking every file I did not want to sync. 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.
It is unbelievable that this simple functionality can't be accomplished. 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. This is a PAIN to deal with currently.
I also just had to do this over and over again. We resintalled on 3 different machines and it took forever to have selective sync work correctly. At least make the mouse press work while you hold it down and scroll. This would have been a huge timesaver.
We have been using dropbox forever and this is such a flaw.
Is anyone at DropBox reading these?
Any updates? I just unchecked 100 folders.
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.
