For developers looking to exclude node_modules from db sync there is sort of a workaround.
Create an empty node_modules folder in your local directory and then go into selective sync and unsync the empty directory from your computer. Dropbox will remove it from your machine but keep the empty directory in the cloud. Then when you run 'npm i' db will ignore the new node_modules folder and the 100s of 1000s of files within.
A db_ignore config file would be much easier!
But hope that helps anyway.
