Add .dropboxignore directory to exclude folders without using selective sync

Thousands of your users asked one feature:

Let us, your users, configure which file types dropbox should ignore via config file similar to .gitignore

You've told us hundreds of times that "you will take that idea to the developers' consideration"

Its been 5 years since the first request of that feature.

Please provide an official response from your development team and product management team:

• Why it is not yet considered to be implemented?
• Enumerate all the downsides of that feature for your business/tech.

The purpose of this topic is to sync your vision of your product (Dropbox) with your actual audience(users).

Thanks, A.
