> What bothers me about Dropbox is that many of the complaints I had 7 years ago are still there...
People have been complaining about the AppData binary thing and the roaming profiles issue since Dropbox launched.
I thought that FINALLY, after they had launched Dropbox for Business, it would come with an announcement that they had fixed Dropbox on roaming profiles and started storing the binary properly.
Nope. Just a branding initiative. I managed to screw around with it enough to get it working on my profile, but I've been unable to repeat that success, even with admin access. So, so annoying. iTunes works better in a corporate environment than Dropbox does.
About using the selective sync dialog: it takes me about 5 minutes to just load the folder list in the GUI, and it's on a quad-core Macbook Pro with 120 Mbps internet.
I believe a perfect solution for power-users would be a support for '.nodropbox' files, which would disable selective sync for a given directory and it's subfolders.
An even better idea would be '.dropboxignore' files, using the same syntax as '.gitignore'.
Wow, that must be brand-new. I was looking for it a couple months ago, and all I found was a million support posts about "why don't you offer gift accounts?" and a few promises that it was coming soon, really, posted back in like 2009.
