Syncing SharePoint folders
Hi,
My organisation is currently transitioning to SharePoint and Onedrive for business. Is there an option to selectively sync SharePoint folders - currently when I push sync on SharePoint, the whole directory is transferred to my computer as there is with Onedrive?

I've not seen nor discovered a means of syncing sub-folders in SharePoint Online. What you're experiencing is normal behavior for SharePoint Online, and I don't believe there to be a configuration item to make that functionality different (yet, anyway, who knows what could happen later on).
As an alternative/coping mechanism, I would suggest taking a look at how your organization will plan to use Document Libraries; namely, how many document libraries within a site you'll plan on using. We've had departments at my organization separate their documents by certain criteria (like security or purpose of those documents) to make syncing a bit more palatable.
Best of luck in your transition!
P.S. I saw this conversation listed twice, did you maybe post it twice?
