1. Select Include these file types.
2. Select each file type, one at a time, that you want to include, and click Add to
move it to the Include list.
— To exclude a specific file type from synchronization:
1. Select Exclude these file types.
2. Select each file type, one at a time, that you want to exclude, and click Add to

format.
Step 6: After you’ve selected the types of files to sync, click Next.
The Sync Options window opens.
Step 7: Select your Sync options:
• Sync Rules:
