Selective sync for Creative Cloud Files?

Is it possible to selective sync certain folders in Creative Cloud. I found an old blog post here Selectively Sync folders on your computer using Creative Cloud « Caveat Lector but I don't have that option in my Finder window.

I have two computers with the same Creative Cloud account (work desktop and home laptop), I don't want to sync all of my work files to my home laptop as it takes up too much space. Surely there is a way to choose which folders sync to your computer in the same way that Dropbox/Google Drive works?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Everyone,

I am so sorry for all the frustration this has caused to all of you. Due to changing priorities, this feature request got overlooked for quite some time now. This feature now has found it's way in ToDo list. The engineering team will start looking into it very soon.

Thank you all so much for your patience. And I am again so sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Ramesh.

Is there still no solution to this issue?  It seems Adobe has gone silent?

Any updates on the progress of this feature? The laptop can't store all of the files and it is preventing me from working.

It's now 9/13/2017 and this feature reinstatement request has truly gone well beyond laughable at this point. This is an absolutely crucial feature for small teams of professionals with limited license restrictions. Having multiple project files which have to remain on tiny laptop hard drives for projects in progress but not assigned to everyone is just dumb.

Please, just give us the feature back (even if it's only on Windows)!  DO IT NOW or alternatively just take the heat from your customer base for openly refusing to implement it, but communicate it either way!  Do we need a petition on social media to get useful features from Adobe now?  OK, I'll go start one right now!  Thanks for inspiring me.

Any updates on this. I have my home pc with Classic and all my files locally and in the cloud. I want to use CC on my laptop, but I don't want to download every file onto it! This needs addressing asap!

Come on, this is getting beyond a joke now. This is an absolutely crucial feature for -any- team or professional. I have 50+ Gb's of project files stuck on my tiny hard drive for a project I left 4 months ago!

You have to do something.

I'm freelancing. some company adds me to their cloud for a 3-month work.

Now the job is done, I'm not even in the same country. I'm in need of disk space so I need to remove their folder (like the whole one).

And I can't cause I'm not sure of what's gonna happen and I don't want to slow a 10 people team...

It's maybe a hard feature to do and maintain, I don't know/care.

Make it work, keep me informed on your progress and bill me.

I'm not playing here, I'm working for god sake!

If nothings move,  I'll have to learn how to bypass you and then cancel my subscription.

First off - let me say that the Creative Cloud Collaboration logic with the smart objects being used in shared libraries has remarkably been an well accepted process not only by our creative teams, but the developers who work in a component-type world who. Now that our creative teams are designing by components the handoff to dev has been great!!!

That said...

How in the heck do you expect TEAMS to work if we can't monitor our syncing? Can't update my prototype links for Client A because Sarah is uploading all the Client B assets. It doesn't matter if you tell Sarah to stop, your cloud will still sync, and if you pause your syncing logic - then the prototypes will not be updated for Client A !!

Then you get an email from Client A stating that "the designs are still showing the non-corrected revisions that you just invoiced us for".

Now I have to back to the business and tell them - CC removed a feature because it was......?
