iCloud Drive - sync Documents without syncing Desktop? I want to use iCloud Drive syncing for my Documents folder, but I do not want to sync my Desktop. Is there a way to sync only Documents?

Very often I copy large video files to Desktop for processing, editing, etc. Syncing these temporary files uses a lot of bandwidth and slows down other uploads.



Symmetrical question:


Sync only Desktop folder, but not Documents, with &quot;Store in iCloud&quot;? (iCloud Drive)

System Preferences:
Put your large video files into Downloads.
This is what I do for instructional videos from Lynda
Don't sync or use iCloud Drive for Downloads
