Uploading Ignored Files

rianhunter

According to https://www.dropbox.com/help/syncing-uploads/files-not-syncing, Dropbox will not allow certain names:

• desktop.ini
• thumbs.db
• .ds_store
• icon\r
• .dropbox
• .dropbox.attr
• Files that start with "~$" or ".~"
• Files that start with "~" and end with ".tmp"

I understand the Dropbox desktop application not syncing these files, but API clients should be able to upload files with these names. Is it possible to support these files in the API?

Hey Rian, we don't have an option for enabling these for upload via the API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
