Can you selectively sync files for Creative Cloud?

On my laptop I only want to sync specific folders or files with Creative Cloud. On my Desktop I want to sync all the files between both devices. Dropbox has a feature that allows you to select which cloud files to sync per device, can I accomplish this with CC?

Unfortunately, no. The file syncing is currently an all or nothing option. But it sounds like a great feature request to have that added. Could you post some documentation from Dropbox on how this is controlled by the user?

I second this request as I only have a 250gb SSD on my laptop so syncing all my creative cloud files (70gb+) just takes up too much space although on my iMac (1TB) it's no problem. Here is how it's handled in Dropbox:

I also need this functionality.  To be honest I was just about to buy in to the Creative Cloud as I thought this would be a basic feature, v surprised that it isn't.  This is a deal-breaker for me.  I too have a PC with lots of space but my SSD ultrabook does not.  I need to be able to work on the ultrabook but only in selected folders.  This surely must affect lots of others too.

I will have to pass on CC until this is added.
