I have thousands of pictures stored. Now I want to sync those pictures to a drive (media server) but only up to a certain subfolder level. Structure looks like this:
- YEAR -> like 2023
-- MONTH -> like 06
--- DAY -> like 01
---- subfolder -> naming varies, like RAW, EOS, Sony....
The subfolder incl. RAW files I Do not want to be synced.
So I Just want to sync down to the level "DAY".
I checked the help and this forum, but didn't find an asnwer to how to set exclusions/filters/rules.
So sorry, if this has been asked before.

Regards, Otto

Assuming your left and right base folder is the parent of all YEAR folders, you can add an Exclude Filter rule
\*\*\*\*\
This should exclude all subfolders (and any of their content) at least four levels deep in the base location.
The first *\ matches (at least) all YEAR folders, the second *\ (at least) all MONTH folders, the third *\(at least) all DAY folders, and the fourth *\ (at least) any subfolders of the DAY folders.

Thx for your help. Decided to work with excluding specific folders, as I also had to exclude certain types of files.
