Ignoring a directory does not work
Dear all,
I am trying to get dropbox to ignore a directory that we use to create ~200K small temporary files using the command given in this article:
https://help.dropbox.com/sync/ignored...
Currently, it isn't possible to bulk ignore folders, they'd need to be manually ignored as and when they exist in your Dropbox folder.
The backslash is a mistake in this message not in the command. Thank you for the quick response, after I posted it I started playing more with the PowerShell commands and this worked:
cd [the parent directory]
Set-Content ./subtomo:com.dropbox.ignored -value 1
Now I can see the value when I use
Get-Content .\subtomo:com.dropbox.ignored
and in the file explorer I see the gray minus sign on that directory.

Dropbox StaffThanks for the info. Does this mean you were able to successfully ignore the folder you needed?
I believe so (I want to test it but I don't see a reason for it to go wrong.). Are there resources available for me to ignore all the directories with this name? Like ignore every directory matching "Data/*/subtomo/" even the ones that are created later?
This can even work if there is a way to create the subtomo/ directory for every new folder in Data/ and then ignore it.
Thanks for you help.
