After e2e encryption, my second largest feature request is a .dropboxignore file

I don't understand why they don't have it even after all these years.

Do you want something different than the Dropbox exclusion list ("dropbox exclude add ...")?

That only supports excluding directories not individual files, and the actual list of exclusions is buried in some local binary config both of which are moderate annoyances - perhaps those are your qualms?

If you run a project off a Dropbox directory you would want .env and similar files excluded. You don't want someone to get your AWS keys?
