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.

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.
