While keeping the SugarSync Manage Sync Folders dialog open, also open up Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder, if you’re on a Mac). Instead, we’ll use a power-user shortcut to add the excluded folder. If we click the Add Folder from This Computer button, we’ll see that we can’t add Travel Notes - the option is grayed out. Now, we want to re-add the excluded folder as its own top-level parent folder in SugarSync. This doesn’t change your actual file structure - this just lets SugarSync know you want to keep it separate when backing up and syncing folders. Turn OFF the Travel Notes folder since we want to exclude it from My Documents. When you click the link, SugarSync will give you a way to turn on/off sub-folders under My Documents. Now, look at the bottom of the window - you’ll see a link Exclude Subfolders. Open the Manage Sync Folders dialog in SugarSync.

Instead, we’ll do a manual Exclude of Travel Notes in the existing My Documents folder in SugarSync. We won’t remove My Documents from SugarSync. There is a faster way to do this setup, which involves a power-user shortcut. Don’t forget to log onto your Netbook to accept the new folder. You’ll click the Sync button on Travel Notes, and then select Netbook as a destination folder. Just follow the steps described in the last blog post. The last step is to sync Travel Notes to your Netbook. This gives you backup of all of the data, while giving you the flexibility to sync Travel Notes separately from the other My Documents folder. SugarSync will detect that Travel Notes has already been added to SugarSync, so it will add My Documents while automatically excluding Travel Notes. Next, you can add My Documents back to SugarSync by clicking the Add Folders from this Computer button again. Click the Add Folders from This Computer button and select the Travel Notes folder. That will make it show up as its own top-level parent folder. Then, start by adding Travel Notes as its own Sync Folder. You will be asked if you if you are sure that you want to remove the folder - click OK. Click the SugarSync system tray icon, open the Manage Sync Folders dialog in SugarSync, click on My Documents, and click the X icon. The easiest way is to remove My Documents from SugarSync to start clean. To do this, you have to tell SugarSync to exclude the sub-folder, then re-add the Travel Notes folder as its own top-level parent folder in SugarSync. In this case, you don’t want to sync all of the other folders under My Documents - you want to sync only the Travel Notes folder. So, you can easily sync My Documents to your Netbook, but that means you’d be syncing more folders than are needed. The folder structure looks like this:īy default, SugarSync lets you sync the top-level parent folder to other computers. But let’s assume you want to sync a sub-folder within My Documents called Travel Notes to your Netbook computer.

You are already backing up and syncing your My Documents folder from your Work PC to your Home MacBook Pro. I thought I’d provide an example for anyone who wants to do this. After my last blog post about more flexible setup, we got a few questions about syncing of sub-folders.
