It's 2021, still no selective sync in iCloud?

Is there a nice way to selective sync folder in iCloud, per mac? Similar to how, ALL the other (even cheaper) cloud drive providers allow you to do such a simple thing?


Scenarios:

  • I have a personal mac, and I synch to iCloud, it's great. pay for more room, np.
  • I have a work Mac, I use the same apple ID, but do NOT want to sync my entire iCloud drive. I just want ONE folder I keep in the iCloud drive.
  • On one mac, I don't want ANY files, but I DO want apps that sync their state over iCloud to still function.
