First of all, thank you so much for looking into improving Ignore List!
- What job are you performing that requires the Ignore List? - Development. For example node_modules folder might contain more than 50k files. Some ML files are super large and should not be synced.
- What were you using as a solution before Insync? - Bought Insync and swithed from Dropbox to Google Drive because of the Ignore List.
- What jobs could the Ignore List be solving but currently isn’t? - As mentioned above, folder specific ignore lists, notifications/confirmation on adding big or large amount of items, retroactive rules. I would love something like .insyncignore just using .gitignore wouldn’t be enough because I want to sync some project files that I do not want to commit to git.
- What difficulties are you having with the current ignore list that prevents you from doing the job or the work that you’re trying to do? - Its hard not to accidentally sync unwanted files and then to get them out of syncing again.
- How does the ignore list improve your daily work flow? - My macbook would otherwise be constantly on 99% CPU trying to sync up all the dist, node_modules, etc folders with many, large or rapidly changing files.
