selective sync for iCloud Drive?!

Am I imagining it or did I once see a couple of contextual options for iCloud Drive files that allowed me to remove local versions?


Its one of many features that iCloud really needing if it doesn't have it already :( Ive just switched from dropbox since apple one was released (purely down to cost as I much prefer dropbox)


Is there some hidden feature somewhere im missing or has it been removed?


thanks for your help!
