I am using Dropbox for everything and it works perfectly — except from with projects including node_modules where it fucks everything up.

I have tried different solutions, and have a terminal shortcut "di" to tell dropbox to ignore the node_modules-folder etc. Sometime I forget running this, or the folder exists for long enough to put Dropbox in complete meltdown syncing 23,321,676,243,588,742 files.

I cannot see a single important usecase where I would need Dropbox to sync a folder named node_modules. How can I make it ALWAYS ignore all folders named node_modules, or in another way avoid these kinds of syncing problems?
