Add .dropboxignore directory to exclude folders without using selective sync

Since most recent replies consist of positive feedback on pcloud, I quickly wanted to share why I switched back to iCloud drive (would be dropbox if I wasnt in the apple ecosystem) after trying pcloud for 3 days. First I was really liking the way it acts as a network drive but you can still select which local folders you want to sync.

After using it to sync my main working directories for some time I was shocked to find over 12 duplicates of the same file in one folder with a slightly different filename telling me about a conflict. Since I really wanted to make pcloud work, I contacted support and they told me:

> Conflicted files are possible when you are editing/saving files too fast and too often
> and the changes "outrun" the sync process. When you click on save, please make sure that
> there's a movement in the progress status bar and wait for it to finish.

This is a dealbreaker to me, since I work with LaTeX (a typesetting language mostly for scientific writing) and often build a file multiple times in quick succession making small corrections to the source code. I my opinion, a syncing service should run in the background without me having to think about whether the files are in sync or not. I dont want to slow down in order to check whether the syncing kicked in or not. Dropbox and iCloud drive offers me this experience, which I got used to over the past years. pCloud seems a solid and lightweight approach, but needs some work until it can compete with the big boys, in my opinion.
