Add .dropboxignore directory to exclude folders without using selective sync

This is currently the TOP VOTED IDEA and it is now over EIGHT YEARS OLD.

The Dropbox Development Team must be familiar with git, .gitignore, robots.txt, .htaccess, Mod_Rewrite, and a hundred other things that use regex and pattern matching to accomplish this task. It surely cannot be as complicated as examining NTFS's ADS tags.

It seems that a minimum solution would to be able to add an option to Right Click > Dropbox > Ignore this File/Folder. But having to do that over and over seems almost as tedious as running a Powershell command.

And for us nerds, being able to add an entry to dropbox.ini or somewhere to ignore all XYZ named folders within an ABC path.
