how do I copy filtered files only (eg: *.pst) located in a root directory (eg: D:\), but NOT any files from any subdirectories?
It seems if I use folder D:\ and INCLUDE *.pst, FFS looks for the .pst files in ALL subdirectories too?

Next to your INCLUDE of *.pst
you could add an EXCLUDE of \*\*.pst
This will include all pst-files in the root of your sync location(s),
but exclude all pst-files in any subdirectories.

Plerry - thanks for the help. I added your suggested EXCLUDE. FFS still seems to be taking the time to scan ALL of the sub directories. Does this sound right?

If you don't want ANY files from subdirectories, you might try excluding all subdirectories e.g. via
EXCLUDE *\
This should exclude all subdirectories of the base directory, not just the *.pst-files in those folders.
I can imagine this will greatly improve scanning-speed (but I don't know for sure ...)
