Excluding Folders
You can exclude subfolders, so that the content on the portal is no longer synced with the local content. You can do this as part of the agent configuration or by manually stopping or starting the sync of a folder, as described in Manually Managing Folder Syncing.
Note: You can only exclude files when the CTERA Agent is not configured as a Caching Agent. With a Caching Agent, the complete portal cloud drive is available, but represented on the local computer by the metadata and displayed as stubs. This results is less storage required locally. When a Caching Agent is not configured, you only include files that you want locally and exclude files that you do not want locally to conserve space.
