Dropbox StaffHi there,
Thanks very much for your feedback. At present, there are only a few file types that don't sync to your Dropbox account. See this Help Centre article for more information:

If there are other files you don't want to sync to your Dropbox, I'd just recommend storing them outside your Dropbox folder.
Hope this helps!
