Smart sync is great news, happy to pay the extra for that.

Setting up on new computer has been painful since full sync takes couple of days (lots of small files). With smart it would be actually possible to travel with empty disk and sync needed files on destination.

What about Selective Sync which has been there for years?

Not very convenient when you have lots of files and deep structures. Selecting the stuff you need through that dialog is quite inconvenient (although doable, this is what I have been using to get the most important files on my computer first).

I'm not, it doesn't cost them hardly anything extra and yet I have to pay twice as much a month just so I reclaim some HD space?
