You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
How can I exclude file extensions form being synced? I have a mega big temp file (temp database log file) and it slows down my entire laptop. K
+1 major vote from me. I would prefer if .tmp .swap and .pyc files were never sync'd.
Hi all, I've recently implemented dropboxignore which is a shell script that allows you to ignore files and folder based on glob patterns (like .gitignore). This is not a solution but a walk-around. Hope to find it usefull. Any feedback is more than welcome.
Hopefully Dropbox will implement this. MegaSync has this feature where you can simply select files based on extension and they are excluded from the sync.
It was 2018 since this was 1st raised. Is there any hope of this being implemented?
Now we're onto WHY do it: there are a number of large and vital programs that create temporary files, such as CAD and database programs, that would like to be integrated with dropbox.
