Require file checkout before being able to upload files
When you sync the project this option allows you to download the file with read/write access. But you cannot update it on the server until you have not checked out the file. To update the file on the server you need to check out the file on the server and then update the file. After you finish working with the file, you can sync the file back to the server.

The default sync filters allow you create a list of file/folder types that you want to be excluded during sync operations
