I have long been using git and there it is custom to apply a .gitignore file to indicate to git which files it should ignore. I sometimes also have files in dropbox that i would appreciate to be ignored in a similar way as they often are of a temporary nature. The files i would like to ignore are often generated via a random name, but with a specific suffix that i can regex match. This is usually not possible to handle via the normal cycle that as i remember is as follows:
- delete file
- generate folder with same name
- ignore the folder with dropbox sync
- go back and delete the folder again.
- recreate old file.
To a git user, it would not feel alien to have a .dropboxignore file that is automatically scanned by dropbox when it decides which files are to be synced.
