There should be a way to regex match certain files and just ignore them in update. I though it is a great idea to sync my main work folder, but now various massive files that are trivial to regenerate gets synched and dropbox is constantly updating and chumming moving hundreds of megabytes around. There are hacks around that, but I'm just not very excited. It is a very basic functionality to have!

My research includes sometimes generating files that are large and I don't need to sync (12GB+). More often than not, I just need them for a little while and then a new similar file is generated. This keeps my DB in a constant not syncing state but I do need to keep my code synced. Because the code is being used in different computers and settings with different privileges, generated file must be within the code's parent folder.
I can live with the unnecessary syncing of all the compilation generated files that my IDE creates, but a .dropboxignore file (or any other means to exclude particular files and file patterns) would definitely be so useful.
An exclude option comes with the CLI for Linux, why isn't there a similar thing for Windows?
