I'm a NodeJs developer, I always sync my project with Dropbox.
But Nodejs have a folder called node_modules. It have so many files.
I don't want sync that folder
I have Googled. There are many same feature requests about this problem.
https://www.google.com/search?q=dropbox+don%27t+sync+node_modules
Also, there are many posts in dropbox forum.

I have send email to Dropbox support. They always doing "considering it and thanks for your feature request"
I'm tired.
We just want a function like ".gitignore" called ".dropboxignore", support regx.
Git with Github(Bitbucket) handle images or another file type not well.
Did dropbox web developers don't use dropbox to sync their codes?
Could Dropbox will solve our requests?
