Enable/disable background synchronization rules

Enable this group policy to choose a background sync mode.


- Synchronize user's home directory:
Select this option to synchronize user's home directory. This has the same effect as adding ~ in "Adjust list of items synchronized in the background" policy.


- Skip preset items:
These items generally do not require synchronization. It is recommended that you select this option.

List of preset items:
~/Library
~/.Trash


Once enabled, this group policy takes effect when users log out and back in.
