I would also like this feature. Not being able to exclude node_modules ruins Dropbox for me (I know this can be done manually at the start of each project but that is not a reasonable solution). I use git and bitbucket but would like to have a copy of my entire development directory on Dropbox with the node_modules files excluded. The node_modules directory can have hundreds of thousands of files and sym links. I have to throttle the Dropbox process in order for my computer to not overheat while using Dropbox, even when I'm not even updating any files! I'll have to stop syncing my node projects and look for an alternate provider with this feature.

It has been a very popular request from developers which has been ignored for years by Dropbox. Implementing a .gitignore like logic would simply make dropbox usable by developers.
Actually, it is not.
