Would love a .gitignore-like feature for file sync
I’d love to have a gitignore-style ignore file when syncing a folder from a computer. It would make it easy to exclude certain files or subfolders from being synced useful in cases like development folders where some content (temporary files) doesn’t need to be uploaded.
I'm considering moving away from GitHub for my personal projects I’d prefer not to store them there anymore. But right now, I don’t have a better solution that keeps everything in sync while letting me exclude unnecessary files. That’s why a feature like this would really help.
Apologies if this isn’t in line with the intended direction or if such a request already exists. I haven’t seen it, but thought I’d share the idea just in case.

I recently figured out that Git works perfectly with local folders as well so now I can back up my stuff to a drive using Git, and even make use of .gitignore. Still, having a simpler, Git-inspired backup tool built into Proton Drive would be awesome.But even this isn't ideal yet, because it's still not automatic even though the process is simpler and I can exclude files from being uploaded
