Amazon CloudSync filter files
This seems like a pretty cool feature. I got it seutp and worked with support to fix it. Now my next question is how do I exclude files from the sync? I use Macs over SMB which have a tendency to create weird .ds_store files and weird .filename copies of files as I use them. I've got all that exluded from my ReadyCloud backups, but can I exlude those files from the Amazon CloudSync?
Hello vrspectre,
Using Sync with Amazon you get to select one or more shares that you want to sync to your Amazon Cloud Drive. If there are some files you want to exclude you may move them to a share that you are not syncing with the NAS.

The issue with that is that these specific files I'm thinking of are auto created by the OS. Windows does stuff too with that .thumbnails file. It would be good to just exclude those from the sync as they don't matter.
