Can we have a right-click option to choose which files to sync first?
It would be excellent (common sense) to include a function where you can right click a file and choose "Sync First" so that it syncs now. I understand that Dropbox syncs smallest files first but some...

I agree that with command line interface [CLI], user can designate in order which files have priority syncing.
or if using drag/drop method that would allow user to choose which file(s) to sync first. some type of popup can be used and user could enter number or drag to re-order priority.
And there could be some default options to pre-sort priority. such as largest file first/last , alphabetical order (ascending/descending), etc.
I think this order of precedence would be easy to implement on DB's end. As you simply pause or disallow syncing lower priority files until the higher priority files are synced.
