A nice feature would be to be able to choose objects (photos, maybe videos in the future, etc.) that one does not want Camera Upload to Sync. Perhaps you’ve already synced the data and you don’t want it to do it again or maybe you just don’t want certain photos to sync.

To clarify, it would be nice to have this feature from the phone-application side to prevent certain items from syncing or whole lists of items from syncing.
