selective sync from command line
I work on different computers, running Windows, Linux and MacOS. I am compiling C++ programs on each computer, from the same source. There is no use syncing compiled objects and executables across ...
This is great. I understand now how Dropbox uses Auxiliary Data Streams on Windows, with a stream called com.dropbox.ignore.
However, it leads to the follow-up: I see that doing this will set Dropbox to "ignore" the file, meaning that it will removed
from dropbox, but just stay on the computer.
Is there a similar way that allows you do basically the opposite -- i.e. remove the file from my computer but retain on dropbox.
This is what happens with "selective sync", that I can choose from the graphic interface, but I prefer a command-line solution.
The same question for selecting "local / Online-only" with smart-sync.
I am guessing that this information is present in the ADS file com.dropbox.attrs, but this appears to be a binary file, so I cannot guess
what the format is.
