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!

This would be really helpful for me for some of the projects I work on where I want to be able to pick it up on one computer and later another without having to commit to my git repository. As it stands .node_module folders get uploaded and the paths get so long they can't be synced and dropbox freezes up. Then the computer starts getting upset. I'd be happy with it being an advanced only feature. Maybe a .dropboxignore file in the directory to set folders and files to ignore? Much the same way .gitignore works?
