This is an advanced feature not meant for general use, please enable and use only if you need something specific that you need to accomplish.

Some users want the ability to control more exactly which local folders are synced to which remote folders and in which direction.

There is an "advanced mode" in sync that allows control of such options. To enable advanced mode, open the syncclientconfig.xml and add the following entry

	<rowentry>
		<name>advancedoffline</name>
		<type>bool</type>
		<value>1</value>
	</rowentry>

Where to find the configuration file?

Mac OSX{HomeDir}\FileCloudSync\syncclientconfig.xml
Linux{HomeDir}\FileCloudSync\syncclientconfig.xml


Then restart the sync app and right click on the sync app and select "Settings" -> "Settings"
