Please tell me how to unsync specific folders so that they only update on my local drive.
You can just move the folders outside of your Dropbox folder so they doesn't sync. If you must store the folders in Dropbox, you can tell Dropbox to ignore them but you'll need to use PowerShell or Terminal to do it.
I tried the PowerShell method, and it didn't work. The folder and its files still show green checkmarks, instead of gray with a minus sign.
Now what? Any other ideas?
