Is there a feature like a .gitignore file for this?

liberodark commented 5 years ago

All of the major cloud sync apps do provide the ability to exclude folders. Would love to see this also. My use case: I use Emby for DVR. When I am out of town, I often tell emby to send various recorded videos to Google Drive since it's faster for me to download from there than from home due to internet speed. They might take all night to upload to Google, but don't care, when done I can quickly download from Drive. Well, this means it will upload to Google Drive (emby does this), which then causes a download due to the sync and inability to exclude the folder. These videos can be 8GB or more.

Just wanted to provide a specific example. Thanks for creating this, very useful app.

Would love to see this implementation, it's not good when sync tries to sync node_modules or .git folder. Regex should be utilized like .gitignore does, just excluding folders/files is not good enough I think. ODrive still is a good sync client and I really appreciate the effort put in it, but with minor details like this would improve it a lot. Actually it may be hard to implement as it affects file/folder structure.
