Sure.
ZSyncer only syncs what you tell it to sync.
One wrinkle is that if you want to sync only some contents
of a folder that does not exist yet on the remote side.
In that case you need to arrange to create the folder remotely
first.  ZSyncer doesn't handle that automatically, but the
callRemote() method may help if you want to script that kind
of feature for your application.

Yeah, you'd still need to arrange to export / import the particular
objects (not really "files") you're interested in.

If they're scattered all over, as it sounds like,
you're not going to find a ready-made solution. 
Only you know which objects you're interested in.
That's why I suggested that you may end up scripting something.
