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.

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 would also like to add, that some people may reject our request out of hand as they would say that it promotes an anti pattern for software developers, where you would use Dropbox instead of git, however we (or at least I) have never used Dropbox in place of git and instead use both of them together to compliment one another, where I use Dropbox syncing for myself only and git to mark meaningful changes and share those with others.
This allows me to switch between computers without delay (except for necessary large uploads, hence this thread) and have continuous, instant backups. This also enables me to avoid requiring a commit just to be able to carry my work over from one machine to another, which IMHO is in and of itself an anti pattern as it encourages premature commits.
