Add .dropboxignore directory to exclude folders without using selective sync
Please please please can you add a feature that allows folders to be excluded from the Dropbox account (on windows and mac). For sure I'm not the first person to request this, but I'm yet to find a g...
I .dropboxignore file would be great. I love using dropbox to back up my coding projects, but I want to ignore certain directories/files that match a specific pattern like for example the 'node_modules' directory or anything ending bin a '/bin' directory, this currently isn't possible as you have to specifically select each and every folder you want to ignore and there is no option for pattern matching.
I know there's devs over at dropbox, pass this message forward :) thanks people!
Couldn't agree more...this is killing us! We are seriously considering moving away now as this topic has been around for ages and Dropbox seem content to ignore it. I appreciate the developers are probably a very small percentage of their users but this, seemingly small, feature addition would help ensure that the likes of us stay with DB.
Here's hoping someone influential agrees and does something about it this time...
