Create, upload, and share
Find help to solve issues with creating, uploading, and sharing files and folders in Dropbox. Get support and advice from the Dropbox Community.
My dropbox was (unbeknownst to me) not syncing for the past week. So work I was doing on some files was not being saved to the team folder. I just got my syncing working again, but meanwhile the team has moved on without me and for my files to save, it will actually set them back a week's worth of work.
I've paused the sync, but is there a way I can stop it entirely for 2 specific files?

I really need to skip some large files to upload, they only need for offline works, but I need to keep them together.

Crude workaround, and not really helpful.
Hey @dermotmoconnor, thanks for reaching out to us!
We're working on a feature that allows Dropbox files to be "ignored". You can find more info about this here.
Currently, it's in beta, so while it's not available to all users at the moment, we're working hard to roll this out to more in the future.
I hope this helps to some extent!

Is this still only on the beta version? I really need to skip some large files to upload, they only need for offline works, but I need to keep them together.

Thanks, I've managed to do it, but looking for an option on dropbox could be easier.

The method in the help article is the only way to manage this feature.
