Selective sync is a feature that allows you to select which files sync from dropbox.com to the Dropbox folder on your computer. This saves hard drive space. To see if the files missing from your computer were selectively synced: Click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar or system tray, and then click the gear icon. https://tellthebell.us
The Dropbox folder is a standard visible ‘user’ folder with almost all of my important files stored inside it. I have no problem with Dropbox or any other software creating a hidden folder within that ‘user’ folder and storing information in that folder in order to be able to perform its function. That’s normal and acceptable software practice in many operating systems, not just Windows. tellthebell survey
