Be nice because it hurts Dropbox.

I usually save my working source file every small amount of time (quite often) and every single change would create a history version on Dropbox storage server which I don't need that much. I'm not sure how many versions are kept but it is totally a waste of bandwidth as well as storage. So, pick what & when a folder/file to be synced is one of the most key features that I'm waiting for. Yup, cause it's very useful for live projects in Dropbox folder.

Wouldn't the better solution be for Dropbox to cache those trivial updates to limit bandwidth? It's not as if code is the only thing that might have multiple small updates. Seems an optimization they'd want to solve for themselves, rather than relying on user behavior.

And if there's a limit to the version history, isn't the storage concern moot?
