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...
There are several ideas on this forum about allowing users to have full control over what files/folders are synced with Dropbox, which would be great. This is a simpler request. There is already a number of file types that are ignored by Dropbox (listed here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/syncing-uploads/files-not-syncing).
Files with the .lock extension should also be ignored. By definition there is no purpose in syncing files like these to dropbox.

What is a LOCK file?
File used by various operating systems and programs to lock a resource, such as a file or a device; typically contains no data and only exists as an empty marker file, but may also contain properties and settings for the lock.
as well as .lck , to be honest, this all seems like a farce, we should be able to make our own exclusion lists, this is just a bandaid on the symptom of the problem. every program spits out their own file extension. it's almost impossible for me to work out of the folder, i find myself having to save everything as a new file, delete the old one, and rename the new one back to the original title, for every single file that gets locked. it's all quite silly that they wouldn't have such a simple feature when they already do this on thier own lists. who knows, maybe someone would like to keep some .tmp files while reallocating their files and want to keep it as a log. who's to say? that they choose FOR me, really activates my almonds.
