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...
There should be a way to regex match certain files and just ignore them in update. I though it is a great idea to sync my main work folder, but now various massive files that are trivial to regenerate gets synched and dropbox is constantly updating and chumming moving hundreds of megabytes around. There are hacks around that, but I'm just not very excited. It is a very basic functionality to have!
I reiterate the screaming in the same direction. Please Dropbox add a feature (.dropboxignore or any other technical solution!) to exclude single files or whole file types from syncing. This would bring you at pair of some of your competitors, such as Carbonite, which allow syncing "preferences" at the single file level.
