sync only used files

@Arminius What you are looking for are called place holder files. There is a long discussion about them here.

Selective download and placeholder files

Wow! This is interesting, @cydron, but I’m afraid is too close to what Microsoft did on SkyDrive and fail: the users don’t have a simple way to know if a file is “real” or just a placeholder. This is the reason I suggested an easier to understand and, thanks to the explanations of the developers, easier to implement. BTSync implemented it well, for what I can see. May this could be a evolution of the placeholder files? So, we could watch how users react to the feature.
