Azure File Sync - Exclude folder from Cloud Tiering

Question

Hi ,
we have set up AzureFileSnync in our company.
Enabled the CloudTiering with policy 10% free space.
My question is can we exclude a folder inside the share from cloudTiering? so that the content of this folder is always available on the cache server ?
the problem is that inside this folder are a lot of pictures that if tired you can of course not se the preview.

thanks for help

It is not possible at this time to separately exclude folders or files outside the standard time based policy. One potential option is to make this directory a junction link and cloud tiering will skip it. You can review what is excluded and skipped here. So you can setup a separate folder that sync doesn't touch and make a junction link in the place where it currently is that points to the other folder. This page walks you through how to setup a junction link

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have further questions or issues and we will do our best to assist.
