Hi,

Can you please advise what is the best way to arrange for the sync of selected sub folders in a main folder that contains multiple folders.

For example below.
Folder contains the below sub folders

\Main\Game
\Main\Programs\App1
\Main\Programs\App2
\Main\Programs\App3
\Main\Programs\App4
\Main\Programs\App5
\Main\Programs\App6
\Main\Programs\App7
\Main\Programs\App8
\Main\Programs\App9
\Main\Programs\App10
\Main\Documents

Can you please advise the best way to use the exclude include filters, so to copy_only \Main\Game,\Main\Documents, App1, App3, App6, and exclude every other folder located in the Main\Programs folder.

Currently I have all the folders (except App2, App4, App5, App7, App8, App9, App10 folders) listed in the include filter, and exclude filter has App2, App4, App5, App7, App8, App9, App10 folders.

Please advise if they is a better way to complete this sync.

Everything that does not meet at least one line in the Include filter will not be part of the sync, and is automatically excluded and does not need to be explicitly excluded per the Exclude filter.
I would suggest to define \Main as your left folder,
have an Include filter of
\Game\
\Programs\App1\
\Programs\App3\
\Programs\App6\
\Documents\
(note that you have to delete the default Include filter entry * (i.e. everything) )
and have an Exclude filter that just excludes the items that are excluded by default
