I agree! And it should allow both folders and files and file extensions to be ignored. For example, I'd ignore *.bak, *.tmp, and *.pch (Visual Studio precompiled [temporary] headers).
Having a .dropboxignore file would be great, but maybe too complicated for the normal user. But a right-click "Ignore" in the Drobox section of the shortcut menu would be really easy for users. Or even an Ignore tab in settings (so we could specify wildcards as I mentioned above).
I agree with others that I'm ready to change to a different solution than Dropbox. I don't want to sound threatening and I'm sure Dropbox would hardly notice a thousand of us moving elsewhere, but there are other cloud based services that do this. I mostly stay with Dropbox because I have a year of file history there.
