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 g...

While Dropbox is no replacement for good Git workflow, the fact remains...
Every line of code I've ever written is run out of my Dropbox. And it's terrific!!!
I teach web development nowadays and the number of side React projects grows daily it seems. The lack of a quality ignore system is a real pain. Leading to hours of syncing with 100's of thousands of files! ARGGGGG node_modules, while do you scorn me so!?
As I type, my system has been humming along hashing it out @ ~50% cpu usage for the last hour. The price I pay apparently for cloning a student project. A disparaging situation to be sure, but it's far worse onest I remember that those files will also need to sync down to two Macs @ work tomorrow morning.
Please Pretty Please, implement a file exclusion feature similar to .gitignore. Both on the global and folder level. The other ideas (gui exclude, right click toggle, etc) are OK but a .dbignore accomplishes the task in a much more MVP fashion, and frankly is the superior implementation pattern for the developer community.
As a current paying customer I can say without a doubt that come time for renewal this feature will be deemed must have / deal breaker. It's literally the only gripe I have, but it is a BIG one. Hell I'm in SF. Let me know some details for the dev(s) that makes it happen and I'll bring you the best steak || cake you've ever had as a token of gratitude.
