Description
So one requirement we often hear is: "We don't want people to sync the whole SMB share to their computer." - They are often too big and endusers will be confused about some popups and error messages from the sync client.
One solution for that would be to add an additional mountpoint config where it can be specified that the mountpoint should not be synced. This would then be signalled to the client via a WebDAV property or so.

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing how external mountpoints are configured and how mount metadata is exposed to the sync client, then determine the appropriate WebDAV property and configuration behavior. Done means a mountpoint can explicitly be marked as not syncable and the client receives that signal.
