Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: Currently, I need to manually select non-google formatted files (my use-case is syncing .txt files) for them to be available offline on my chromebook. What is the expected behavior? It would be extremely valuable if I can flag a folder to sync all contents to the hard drive, thus allowing me to store all of my text files and allow for offline editing and then syncing when there is a network connection available. What went wrong? Manually syncing each file is not viable, as it is too easy to fall out of sync. Did this work before? No Chrome version: Channel: n/a OS Version: Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0 I know this is a feature, not a bug, but it is the only thing that is short-handing my chrome os experience and seriously hurting my workflow.

Could you please take a look? I think this is a feature request outside of sync

Can you help elaborate a bit? - What do you mean by "manually select"? Select in what UI? - When you say "flag a folder," what exactly do you mean by that? It's not clear to me that this is related to Chrome Sync.

I will compare the chromeOS sync functions to the google drive windows desktop application. In my use-case, I have the google drive windows application installed on 2 different computers. I take notes on one machine and save them as text documents into my 'notes' folder. I have the 'notes' folder set to auto-sync to google drive. This uploads them to my drive cloud account, as well as saving a copy to the hard drive on my second computer. In the case of chromeOS, the text files do not automatically save to my hard drive for offline editing. I can use the default file explorer application, right click a file and set to 'available offline', but I would much rather right click an entire folder and set it to 'available offline', rather than selecting specific files.

Are these files that you're saving to your Drive folder? I'm not familiar with CrOS UI, but this doesn't sound like a Sync request, I think it's either a CrOS or Drive request. Removing the Sync component, and adding omrilio@ for triaging (maybe you can help find the right home in CrOS)?
