Hello,
Please implement filters for synchronizing. Allow filtering by any available metadata. Creation date, file type, file size, file name contains "x" etc.
This could be implemented as a contextual menu ( "Filter" ) with sub items ( "Never Sync", "Always Sync", "Sync When" ) and conditionals. Creating one of these conditional filters would add it to a list of filters that are accessible and editable in the GUI. A "Filters" pane in the Dropbox menu item would be another fine implementation.
i.e.
"Never Sync" IF [filetype] is ".idlk"
"Never Sync" IF [created date] IS BEFORE [date]
"Always Sync" IF [file size] IS LESS THAN [size]
"Sync When" [time of day] IS AFTER [time]
Manually adding every item of a particular extension to the ignore list to be ignored is tedious and unmaintainable. When ignore lists become extremely long additional performance issues may arise.
Add, at a minimum, customizable file-type based sync filters.
