Add .dropboxignore directory to exclude folders without using selective sync

To be fair, this forum is where everyone is directed to if they want to get in touch with Support or have an issue (it's actually pretty hard to get in touch in other ways -- took me a while to find another route when I wanted to get in touch directly): I didn't come here because I'm a developer, I came here because I had an issue that I Googled, and this looked like a place where I might find a solution (how wrong!).

One thing we can be sure about: This forum was created for users of Dropbox to raise and discuss issues by Dropbox themselves. They put the voting system in place as a way of helping them understand what their customers want, and what's important to them. To assume that that system is faulty, and the issues raised here do not represent their customer base is quite a leap for me. You may be right, but the available evidence (from the system Dropbox themselves created to assess such things) seems to indicate otherwise.

Either way, to learn that our request has only just been passed on to the developers now is, I think, understandably frustrating.

I would seriously like to know if this feature is likely to be roadmapped, because I going to have to look for an alternative solution that fits my needs otherwise (which I really don't want to do).
