Q: Copy Files Option  
How do the "Copy Files" and "Don't Copy Files" options work?
   

A: The "Copy only files" settings are checked first, then the "Don't copy files" settings. For example, if you set Copy only files to "whose names contain "xxxx" and Don't copy files to "files whose labels are Cool", a file called "Sync me xxxx" with the label "Cool" would not be copied.
