What bothers me about Dropbox is that many of the complaints I had 7 years ago are still there...
For instance, I can't exclude folders and extensions, which messes up my workflow a lot (e.g. I can't exclude .git folders)

People have been complaining about the AppData binary thing and the roaming profiles issue since Dropbox launched.
I thought that FINALLY, after they had launched Dropbox for Business, it would come with an announcement that they had fixed Dropbox on roaming profiles and started storing the binary properly.
Nope. Just a branding initiative. I managed to screw around with it enough to get it working on my profile, but I've been unable to repeat that success, even with admin access. So, so annoying. iTunes works better in a corporate environment than Dropbox does.

I believe a perfect solution for power-users would be a support for '.nodropbox' files, which would disable selective sync for a given directory and it's subfolders.
An even better idea would be '.dropboxignore' files, using the same syntax as '.gitignore'.
Still impossible.
These guys can't even manage GIFT CERTIFICATES, I'm not surprised they have trouble with actual technical issues.
