exclude folder on a mac

[flipper2222222]

hi,
on a mac
I am trying to exclude all folders below this path

/users/documents/Microsoft User Data

I have used
/users/documents/Microsoft User Data/*/
/users/documents/Microsoft User Data*/
/users/documents/Microsoft User Data/*

none of these seems to exclude from scanning and syncing,
anyone know what I might be doing incorrectly?

thanks in advance

You need to enter the path relative to the root of your sync, not the full path.

If your left location is "/users", the entry in your exclude filter should read
"/documents/Microsoft User Data/*" or simply "/documents/Microsoft User Data/"
If your left location is "/users/documents", the entry in your exclude filter should read
"/Microsoft User Data/*" or simply "/Microsoft User Data/"

The above should exclude all files in and all (sub)folders in Microsoft User Data.
If you want to exclude all (sub)folders in, but include all files in Microsoft User Data try
ending your exclude statement with "[WhateverRelevantPath/]Microsoft User Data/*/*" or "[WhateverRelevantPath/]Microsoft User Data/*/"
