Oh my goodness.... You have 100's of comments spanning almost 8 years and you are unclear of the requirements? But, anyway, let me take a stab at it.
As reference, please consult other current implementations for example as implemented in Git: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore
The requirement that we are asking for, in a nutshell, is to provide us the ability to create an ignore file which include all files/folders/patterns for the dropbox client running on a device to to ignore (not sync). This is much more portable and familiar that the other method that was originally presented as the solution.
From this, I am sure the gap should be fairly obvious. For developers, devops engineers, Infrastructure engineers, SRE's and anyone else in a SDLC, it should be - and I am going to assume it is. If the team at dropbox cannot discern the differences/gap then you have far bigger problems to deal with. Let me know, and I am happy to then give you a detailed analysis and spec - but for a reasonable fee, as I will have to spend some time on such a project.
