How could I include only the Root Folder files plus particular subfolders?

I could specify the subfolders I wanted in Include Filter but cannot include also the Root Folder files. If I specify "*" in there, it includes everything includes all other subfolders.

I could not specify the subfolders I don't want in Exclude Filter because the subfolders are growing.

If I interpret correctly, the Exclude Filters overrides Include Filters, right? It could be perfect to me if I could Exclude all Subfolders except those I specify in Include Filters.

Please give me some hints, thanks a lot!

The only solution I could think of is to Sync twice with the first Sync Include everything while exclude all subfolders (therefore root files only), the 2nd Sync is to Include only the subfolders I wanted.

Wondering if I could combine these two Syncs into one.

> Exclude Filters overrides Include Filters

Include and exclude filters are AND-related while the individual entries for each of the two are OR-related.

With this filter design you need to setup two folder pairs - but it's sufficient to use a single configuration.
The first pair syncs base with an exclude filter of "*\*", while the second pair uses an include filter of your required subdirectories.

Very nice! Can do it now! It's a great Sync tool! Very thanks!

It will be better than perfect if you could include "Restore from last sync" or "Restore by date range" in the future release. The current versioning is great already, of course :)
