How to set all directories in Dropbox with a given name/regex to be ignored.
I would like to not sync, i.e. ignore all folders with the name .venv. How can I do this? This method then I would also like to apply to node_modules directories.
PS: I know that I can ignore a folder on a specific full path. But as soon as I create a new Python project the new .venv folder is synced (or in a node project the node_modules folder). This can causes quite a bit havoc. So we need a rule-base ignore system for this.
