The ignore folder command isn't working; the folder is not being ignored.
I'm trying to ignore a node_modules folder using the command posted here:
https://help.dropbox.com/sync/ignored-files
My command as typed in Windows power shell is below:
Set-Content -Path 'C:\Users\mroch\Dropbox\sd\node_modules' -Stream com.dropbox.ignored -Value 1
I do not see a gray 'minus' sign next to my node_modules folder in Windows Explorer and the files inside continue to by synced.

Hi mroche74, welcome to our Community!
Let's jump right into this.
As a first thing, is your PowerShell and Dropbox app up to date? You should be able to hover your mouse over the little Dropbox icon on your menu bar, next to your WiFi to check our app's version.
As for PowerShell, this page might help. If not, let me know.
Keep me posted!
I'm on a brand-new windows laptop, out of the box yesterday. All windows updates have been successfully installed. Dropbox version is 221.4.5365. Powershell version 5.1.26100.3624.
Just installed Powershell 7. Still no luck.
My laptop came out of the box yesterday afternoon. Everything's up to date.
