This folder will be added to Syncplicity and automatically updated anytime changes are made within this folder. If you have multiple folders you wish to have synced to Syncplicity, you can repeat the process and add each folder to Syncplicity.

In the above example, you can see folders already added to Syncplicity are marked with the Syncplicity logo, indicated by the arrow.
