Abstract

See full text

Techniques are disclosed for enabling selective subfolder synchronization in a cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, a method comprises, in response to a selection, from a user, of a first synchronization state of a first folder in a workspace, synchronizing content of the first folder associated with the user based on the first synchronization state regardless of a second synchronization state of a second folder in the workspace. The first folder is a subfolder of the second folder. The workspace is provided by a server of a cloud-based environment, and is shared among the user and one or more collaborators of the user. Among other advantages, embodiments disclosed herein provide fine-grained control to the users of a cloud collaboration environment over what folder(s) in their workspace is to be shared and/or synchronized.
