I’m not sure what could be more convenient and appropriate within this context as right click, don’t sync to Dropbox. It is not selective sync at all, selective sync lets you only download certain folders you specify and the rest are ‘hidden’ in the sense that they only are visible to you on the web/through a browser.

Folder but it will not be syncing or uploading until you tell it to be running the oppose command.
