One thing that Dropbox doesn't do well is file segregation
Dropbox does do that. In the preferences, each folder has a checkbox for "Sync this folder to this computer"; uncheck it and the folder won't be on that device. It's marginally clunky to set up since you have to do it for each folder on each device - it doesn't have a higher level abstraction like "no large zip archives" - but the functionality is there.
- Huppie 15y agoThe trick here is that Dropbox has introduced this feature pretty late and only if you run the installer now (on a new machine perhaps) you'll notice the feature is there because the installer will ask you if you want to sync everything or selectively. If I remember correctly, the older clients don't update to new versions automatically (or at least this was the case a year ago) and you will need to download a new client to make this feature available.
