Add .dropboxignore directory to exclude folders without using selective sync

Good points here, although most are related to your particular environment but I do understand. I have a list of projects (call them folders) that are current, and have triggers (works on windows with powershall and Mac with .. Mac stuff) and they trigger whenever the program is open. I’m a civil engineer so in my case it’s 12d and AutoCAD. Anytime I open a 12d project inside folder x (one that’s on the list) do not sync happens straight away, and that project is then ‘checked out’ until I ve finished and it does the reverse once closed after 5 mins idle time. This works great for me, I rarely even think about it nowadays. I love the whole project gets taken off then put back on, a new complete revision gets made, the Dropbox automations can be used here too, really good. Every time I try one of the competitors out when I’ve got the Dropbox **bleep**s on, I very quickly return to my dear Dropbox with much love and enthusiasm, cause the others, are rubbish let’s face it. Unless you go down a resilio kind of thing but even then, there are lots of things I don’t like. Each to there own I suppose.
