When working on new features for a live site that has hundreds or even thousands of posts. I only need about 10 - 40 posts to implement features. Just think about time saved not pulling the whole upload folder to the local environment. So would it be possible to have an option that offers a reduced data pull to local. We could call it: Diet Db 
I do know that when working in an Organisation I can then choose to pull and push the upload folder but I am talking about the initial pull.
