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...

@Ettore P. Great name! Catching!
I know it would be time consuming, and it's not something a single developer can do in his spare time. I could manage to wrap up something for the server side, and, using Node, for the client time. But it would require at leas some iOS, Swift, .NET and C developer to create native versions of the clients (Node has some memory leaks when watching many folders/files, so I think it can't be the optimal way)
By the way, my heart would be content to have .dropboxignore and nothing else, as it would clean out the major issue I ran into using Dropbox for work.
Actually there were some open source projects for this issue (like this https://github.com/doomrobo/DropboxIgnore) and another one I can't find anymore but aren't working as Dropbox closed a lot of their "local engine api" for security concerns.
It would be great to be able do even a little tool like this.
I'm looking for the @Adam and @Jordan suggestions.
Again: contacting support is not working. If you scroll some pages up this thread you'll read some Dropbox dev response. Those are all the same tone: we are reading this, we are not doing this because you are a little niche of customers but we can't say you it clearly for fear of losing you all now. So hang on another year or two. Bye.
What they maybe are not keeping in mind is that probably our companies were suggested using Dropbox from "nerds" like us that used it before. This is what happened here in my company holding. So now they have a 150+ Business Account active because a nerdy developer took a peak to an obscure startup that simplified his living and talked about it to his boss... and so on.
