Hello to everyone, i’m new at the forum so, in first place ¡Hello 
!
In second place, i’m not a owncloud/nextcloud newbie, but i’m deploying a medium/large instance of nextcloud (+/- 600Gb) mostly big files (no problem) but in my section we also develop using nodejs and the node_modules is huge, sometimes platform-dependient and it causes failures when uploading to the cloud.
So, the question is: There’s any way to avoid sync of one specific local folder without deleting it in the local storage?
Thanks you
Also i forgot to explain, the server is a Centos 7.4 (not very important in this case) and the clients are all Mac OS high sierra
No. That is not possible. You can de-select it via selective sync but then it will be deleted from the owncloud/nextcloud folder at your MacOS Client.
I found a way, you can add an Exclusion in Settings > General > Ignored Files
You can add a mask to ignore a whole folder i’m using (in my case) node_modules because i don’t want to sync any node_modules folder.

@geek_person Does this solution still working? I can’t find those settings locations you mention here.
Sorry, I found it. It was in the Client not in the web portal. Got everything fixed now. Thank you!
It seems odd… “node_modules” are still synced even though I added them in the Ignore list… I’m running NC24.7 and the latest Linux client (on *ubuntu2204), but I have this problem since months. Can someone teach me how to debug this? Are there any logs I can examine?
How did you input it? I found that “node_modules” worked but not “/node_modules”.
Personally I think node_modules should be included in the no-sync list by default.
