Description

When initially configuring the folders to be synchronized (custom selection), the two options “Ask for confirmation before synchronizing new folders larger than” and “Ask before synchronizing external storage” cannot be unchecked and taken into account... As a result, in the next step (start of synchronization), team folders are not synchronized and an error occurs (team folders are displayed in red and must be checked again).

What I suggest : the 2 options ("Ask...) will impact the 2 sync possibilities above ; check this simulation made with GIMP :
