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 good explanation of why it's not there. A quick google search reveals loads of people also looking for the same feature. I really like the workflow I have with dropbox, but it's getting to the point where I might switch providers in order to allow better selective sync.
I've seen hackish solutions using selective sync, but it would be great if this could be done in one of the following ways:
- global pattern matching eg "node_modules"
- a marker file in the directory like .dropboxignore
- a simple right click context menu "Ignore this folder"
Other than that, keep up the good work. Cheers.

I don't really think that I need safety, but I don't think they have a FreeBSD client, so I'd have to roll my own solution again.
Are you sure Mega is cheaper? It looks like it is more expensive to me. Dropbox is $8.25/TB/month and Mega is 9.99€/0.5TB/month. That seems like less than half the space for the price.

Agreed, this needs to happen. Especially now that I am a paying customer because my 40gig phone-signup promo expired and I couldn't be bothered moving my stuff. Well played DB, your marketing tactic got me.

Pretty please.
They really don't care, guys. We are just a bunch of "poor" developers and they are really looking forward to conquer the 'word-excel-powerpoint' clients. Did you received their last marketing letter? A broader market of companies aka more profit. Which is what a company, any company, need to focus on, I know, but it's kinda sad nonetheless.
.dropboxignore please
Please add this feature Dropbox.
Come on Dropbox! This is the most cost-effective improvement you can make. Easy to implement and so much requested by users. I cannot believe you have failed to find resources to make it happen for almost two years already. You are disrespecting your paying customers with this attitude.
