Google is going to split their sync tool into a consumer tool (Backup and Sync) and business tool (Drive File Stream); I think they stopped updating their main sync client a while back in preparation for this split. I think the business tool is the only one that will allow for files to appear locally that aren't actually downloaded. It's still in beta.

I am actually talking about quality of Backup and Sync. It's got about 90gb to upload and it's using 130% of processor and clicking it hardly shows progress because it's so bogged. Hopefully they fix soon, otherwise the selective sync is eons better than dropbox's implementation.
