It wouldn't be copy and paste a .ignore file because the .ignore file will autosync to Dropbox in the same way that GitHub does. The issue is the order of operations which have to be done when setting up any new device: (1) sync with current state of your dropbox, (2) turn off sync, (3) make new folder that will be ignored, (4) issue command to ignore that folder, (5) turn on sync. By natively supporting a .ignore file, dropbox would mitigate the need for steps 2-5. Those steps currently require either manual input or running an external script, that is much more prone to user error.
