Terminal Command to Sync Folder Online Only

Question

Hi,

I'm on windows and constantly have trouble using Smart Sync. Smart Sync for the most part never shows up in the context menu, so I have trouble quickly selecting which folders I'd like to sync online/offline.

I'm wondering if there is a terminal command I can use to choose a specific folder to sync online only so I can save some space on my HDD?

Cheers,

Hi @DMDComposer, currently, the ability to change the online status of a file via terminal command isn't possible.

We do appreciate all input on how to improve the Dropbox app and service, and we take all comments into consideration for the future.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response!

It would be great if a terminal command was available and if not I'd love it to be a feature request in the future.

For now, here is the requested information you asked for.
Windows 11
Dropbox 168.4.4802

Up to date

Sometimes the sync options show in the context menu but for me personally, most of the time they don't. If it helps, on my mac the Sync context menu feature works perfectly. The issue only exists on my Windows 11 PC.
