I've never been a fan of using exceptions to dictate flow control, which is what this sort of smells like.

Also, what happens if the file threshold is set to 1 MB, and between syncs a file grows from 500K to 1.5MB? Delete it? Leave it? Sync it because it used to be synchronized?

There must be another way for the user to achieve this, without adding a pref?
