It will be so useful if I could exclude certain files from syncing based on a file mask. Examples:

Another use case: I sync some "Local Folders" in Postbox which is basically archived email. It is very rarely updated except for two cases: The .msf files are apparently an index file of some sort and don't actually need to be backed up but seem to be frequently updated causing lots of useless syncs. Also, every time an email is sent it first gets copied to Unset Messages file so both Unsent Message and Unsent Messages.msf are updated and synced needlessly. I could possibly use hardlinks to try to exclude these files but that would be very tedious and I'd have to set that up on all of my PCs individually.
