I have a folder for my web development projects on Google Drive (currently empty, not in use yet) and I want to install the Backup and Sync to my Windows computer so that I don't have to drag and drop all the time the files to upload.
I've read that the Backup and Sync app syncs folders from the computer (Desktop, Documents, Pictures) by default and I don't want that. I don't want to sync any folder from my PC/Laptop to Google Drive, I just want to bring in the folders from Drive to my PC/Laptop.
Is it possible to deny all the user folder syncs and just sync the folders from Drive?
I already had a disaster couple of years back when OneDrive (which comes with Windows 10 by default and instantly activates on first boot) tried to sync my user folders and I lost some files when I cancelled it and had to use restore point to get the files back.
