 * I wanna save some space on my cloud drive. Is there a simple way to exclude a
   specific custom folder from my weekly backups? I just dont need those large files
   backed up everytime.

 * In the settings tab, you can exclude files by going to either the “Exclude from
   Others” or “Exclude from Uploads >> Add an exclusion rule >> File/directory
