I can't remove MS Office temporary files from syncronization. For example ~$Doc1.docx. I tried some filters:
"~*.*" or "~$*.*" but it doesn't work.

Note that all filter rules are relative to the root of the left and right base-location, so putting "~*.*" or "~$*.*" in your Exclude Filter (obviously without the quotes) only works for MS Office temp-files in the root of the left- or right base location, not anywhere else in the (sub)foldertree.

I use an Exclude Filter rule "*\~$*" for excluding MS Office temp files, and this works fine. It excludes all files (and folders ...) which name starts with "~$" anywhere in the (sub)folder-tree.
Obviously "*\~$*.*" should also work, but is not necessary.
