How do you control which files get downloaded to your Computer?

I have a Surface Pro 2.  I use SkyDrive from multiple devices.  I do not want all of the files that are on SkyDrive to sync back to my Surface.  I can not find any way to stop files from coming down to the tablet.  If I want to view the files, I can go to the cloud, I don't need them local and taking up all of my tablet storage.  things I create on the Tablet I want to go to the cloud, but stuff I make on my PC does not need to go to the tablet.
