DotDropboxIgnore

A cross-platform module to facilitate ignoring files and folders in a Dropbox folder.

Tested on Windows and Linux (Fedora).

Installation

Installation not strictly required, Python 3.9+.

To make it easier to call the utility, clone this repository and then install it with pip:

python -m pip install -e .

Now you can call:

python -m dropboxignore

From anywhere.

If managing multiple version of Python can be useful to install with pipx.

pipx install . # from within folder

So you can call:

dbignore

From anywhere.

Usage

Assuming that you have installed with pipx:

dropboxignore

Will search for all files and folders recursively from the current working directory that match the default .dropboxignore file in the module, which includes:

**/.git
**/node_modules
**/venv
**/env
**/__pycache__*
**/.pytest_cache*

**/*.manifest
**/*.spec
**/build
**/dist
**/*.egg-info*

Which you can modify yourself if you want to customize it, just note that they need to be valid glob patterns.

You can also pass in explicit arguments for the path to use as root and a custom .dropboxignore file.

dropboxignore C:\Dropbox C:\Dropbox\.dropboxignore
