Is it possible to avoid sharing ‘default’ folder unless explicitly added on both sides? I noticed there is no ‘Ignore’ button, only ‘Later’ in sharing prompt that appears when I add new device.
Or should I just sync default folder with everybody and don’t store anything important there?

The `default` folder, like any other folder, is _not_ shared unless explicitly added on both sides. You get the prompt on one side because you explicitly added it on the other.
