So the best solution right now is to sync manually, for example with rsync(1): There is Selective Sync but that also doesn't what you need. git folder gets deleted by dropbox when you remove it with selective sync so make sure you have a local backup if you have history you want to keep.Īccording to this thread in the Dropbox forum, you can't omit/exclude folders. git folder in the dropbox system and ignore it locally with the selective sync feature and then initialize the repository. git file(not directory) in your dropbox synced folder with the content 'gitdir: /path/to/repo.git' so that you can use git as normal.

git repository files in an external location (like ~/gitdropbox/myproject.git) with -git-dir and -work-tree. When you copy the folder back, dropbox won't delete it again, and it will lack the dropbox sync mark (and its children too).Ģ020 update: Now dropbox has the options to mark folders or files to be ignored, as described here: attr -s -V 1 myfoldername git folder, mark it as excluded with Selective Sync, dropbox will delete it. Selective Sync seems to be the solution, but beware: when you mark a folder as excluded, dropbox will delete it.
