Excluding files/folders from Dropbox sync while keeping folder structure?

Can I exclude certain file types or folders from being uploaded to my Dropbox, while still keeping the rest of my folder structure in sync?

    Hi sentur,

    Dropbox application doesn't support yet exclusion of certain file types (might never happen). In spite you can exclude particular files/folders using the ignore feature.

    Hope this helps.
