Local-Only - Any updates on a built in way to set local-only files?
I know we have this under the hood means of setting local-only files:
https://help.dropbox.com/sync/ignored-files
But I was just seeing if there was an easier, out-of-the-box way of doing it now? Or any plans of such a feature.

That is the only method.

Rich - Thanks Rich!
Here's a question I posted in another thread. By chance, do you know the answer to this?
Start of message:
Are you by chance, able to explain exactly what this command is doing?
"Set-Content -Path C:\Users\yourName\Dropbox\someFolder -Stream com.dropbox.ignored -Value 1"
I read the Microsoft docs on "Set-Content", but I'm perplexed exactly on how this stops Dropbox from syncing? Is there a list of files/folders somewhere on one's computer which Dropbox uses as a reference for what files/folders not to sync?
Or is such a reference stored in the cloud?
