How to exclude files and folders from sync
Build output, caches and system files do not belong in the cloud, so the exclusion list already carries the usual suspects. Adding your own is one line, and it governs what happens from now on rather than removing what is already up there.
- 1 Open the sync folder and go to Advanced.
- 2 Read the defaults already there: node_modules, .git, .env and .DS_Store.
- 3 Add a folder name on its own, such as dist.
- 4 Add a wildcard such as *.log, or an absolute path when you mean one exact place.
- 5 Choose Reset to defaults to put the original list back.
Some things just don’t belong in the cloud. Build output. Caches. Log files. Half a gigabyte of node modules.
Open the sync folder, and go to Advanced. This is the exclusion list, and it already has the usual suspects in it.
node modules, dot git, dot env, and dot D S Store. Those are the defaults, and they’re there for a reason.
Adding your own is one line. A folder name on its own, like dist. A wildcard, like star dot log. Or an absolute path, if you mean one exact place.
Add it, and the next scan skips it. Anything already uploaded stays where it is, so this is about what happens from now on.
Changed your mind? Reset to defaults puts the original list back.
