    Based on this approach, I've recently implemented dropboxingore which is a simple shell script that allows you to ignore files using glob patterns (like .gitignore). Hope to find it useful. Commented Jan 2, 2021 at 13:00
  • Should this immediately cause dropbox to delete the corresponding files on the cloud? Or is there something I need to do in order to get it to do this. Can I delete them from the cloud (using browser) and still keep them on my local copy after I added the ignore attribute? I noticed that I did not immediately get extra space available again after having ignored many very large files.
