Dropbox backup uploads hidden folders, even though I only selected one folder to back up.
I want to back up folder on my PC. The folder is less than 1 GB. However dropbox adds these two hidden folders to the backup. They are very large and I do not want to have them backed up on my Dropbox. Is this a bug, or is there a way to tell dropbox not to include these two folders in my backup?
Here is a view of my backup. I only selected the Assets folder to be included in the backup, but for some reason the .git and .vs (hidden folders) gets included in the backup as well.
Any help on this topic is very much appreciated.
