For most of the time I have a solid (300/40) internet connection. But when I'm on the road or somewhere with a metered connection, I don't want the syncing to chew up all of my data cap. Is it possible to add a switch that limits syncing to the utmost essentials? Cache size is not an issue (1TB drive + SSD in laptop). I have tried limiting the speed to 1Mbit but that just ends up throwing errors and warnings.
I undertand that it needs an internet connection to mount the drive and that is not a problem. I also know that without syncing only cached data will be accessible. Here comes the second point; manual pinning; a way of selecting folders/files that will be kept in the cache. I currently keep all my video and photo projects in a CloudDrive, and being able to selectively keep only the most recent on disk, while clearing the older ones out of the cache would be really helpful. I don't mean for this to replace the current cache, but optionally supplement it.
