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.

+1 PLEASE add this!!!
You could easily add this as a super-advanced feature, hidden away, but it has now become pretty much essential for my day to day.
@Andrey S.
Thanks for sharing this.
I did the same..gitignore for dropbox... +1

Insulted? I couldn't agree more.
Meanwhile Dropbox continues to consume > 100% CPU with nothing being done. Starting to get a little peeved with their ignorance of this issue.
+1 PLEASE add this!!!
This feature is a must. Keep it simple. I don't want to have to switch to "Selective Sync". It's a waste of my time.
TLDR: +1
Plus a billion. I have been using Dropbox since its very start. My two Dropbox Pro subscriptions are about to expire and, for the first time, I am considering not renewing them.
