The ignore folder feature is not working.

Thanks for responding! But no, I'm not talking about the syncing responsible for removing the folder from other devices. Here are the steps I took...

1. Created a new, empty folder named "foobar".
2. Marked it as ignored and waited for the Dropbox app to finish syncing.
   1. Confirmed that the icon was changed to a gray minus sign and that the folder isn't on other devices.
3. Added a new file named "foo.txt" to the ignored folder.
   1. At this point, I see the Dropbox icon start spinning and it says it is "Syncing foo.txt..."
   2. I then confirmed that the file's icon was a gray minus sign and the file wasn't added to other devices.
4. Edited the foo.txt file.
   1. Again, I saw the icon start spinning and Dropbox said it was syncing a file.
   2. Again, confirmed that the file wasn't added to other devices.
5. Removed the foo.txt file.
   1. Again, I saw the icon start spinning and Dropbox said it was syncing a file.

So the new feature is properly preventing ignored files/folders from being synced to other devices... but the Dropbox app still reacts to the fact that something changed inside the ignored folder. I can't tell for sure obviously, but it looks like it processes the file that was changed and then decides not to sync it to other devices — instead of actually ignoring any changes within the ignored folder altogether.

So this feature seems to be more of a "do not sync this folder to other devices" feature instead of an "ignore this folder" feature.

And unfortunately, it looks like that won't solve the scenario that many of us have been requesting this feature for. I'm a software developer and there are often folders that have thousands of files in them that get updated very frequently while I'm developing. When Dropbox tries to process all of those changes it eats up a ton of my computer's resources. So what I need is to be able to tell Dropbox to completely ignore a folder by not monitoring/processing any changes that happen to the files inside of it.
