This CLI shell script aims to leverage glob patterns and existing .gitignore files in order to exclude specific
folders and files from dropbox sync. The shell script uses this recent https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/restore-delete/ignored-files approach to ignore folders and files.
Getting started
dropboxignore is a CLI tool which supports a collection of commands in order to make your life easier when it comes
to exclude files or/and folders from dropbox sync. Below you will find some common usecases.
A typical workflow
A common workflow could be the following:
.dropboxignore files based on existing .gitignore files..dropboxignore files (Optional).and you can run this flow by running the following command:
$ dropboxignore genupi .
Warning: In order to prevent unpleasant data losses, exception patterns are not supported. Both .gitignore and
.dropboxignore files with at least one exceptional pattern will be bypassed (for further details:
https://github.com/sp1thas/dropboxignore/issues/3 ).
Note: Automatic generation of .dropboxignore files is an optional step, therefore, may not be a necessary action
for your case.
Long story short:
Here https://dropboxignore.simakis.me/en/latest/getting-started/#long-story-short you can find some of the most common cases that dropboxignore could be useful.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install dropboxignore, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install dropboxignore
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
