README: Please provide some details about the .dropboxignore file

[birgersp]

Hello,

Sorry but I am confused.

The .dropboxignore file specifies which files to be ignored by dropbox sync. But is this a (built-in) feature of dropbox? Or is it a feature added by this application (project).

If it's a feature added by this project, I am confused why that isn't explicitly stated in the README (because .dropboxignore is what I was looking for). The CLI tool is nice and all, but all I personally (and probably others) care about is adding stuff to .dropboxignore. Namely,

**/node_modules

in .dropboxignore in the root directory of all my Node projects.

And I just did, and it works! Amazing!

I also tried genupi, but it created a plethera of .dropboxignore files. I'd rather not have to put one of those in all my projects.

TLDR: Explain the .dropboxignore file in README.

Hey @birgersp , firstly, thanks for your feedback. The ability to ignore a file or folder from dropbox is a built-in feature. On the other hand, the .dropboxignore file is not natively supported by dropbox (that's why I started this project). I think you have a point, the concept of .dropboxignore file could be a bit more detailed. Are you willing to open a PR for this?

In all honesty, I moved to MEGA instead of Dropbox. Initially just because MEGA has a good feature for excluding files/folders (using pattern matching, wildcards etc).
