@projectdeliverypartners Dude you’re not using this at the level we are discussing. It’s not just handling one folder and you’re done. It’s accessing sync operations across several devices, through remote operations. As is, without an ignore file and just with using the ignore command, you have to manage each folder for each device separately.
The OP mixed up selective sync with ignore 10 years ago, and for some reason the admins keep merging this with other threads that more lucidly state the problem. It’s about ignoring a local folder across several devices, as they are being setup. That’s the whole point of a an .ignore file. Again, think about GitHub and why it has one.
