ExcludeDetails
Exclude mask Customize file exclusions by entering full filenames or utilizing wildcard patterns. The asterisk * symbol matches any number of characters, whereas the question mark ? replaces a single character. This flexibility allows you to exclude groups of files with similar names or extensions.

To specify multiple exclusion patterns, use the vertical bar | as a delimiter.
Examples:
  • *.zip
  • *.tmp | *.log | draft_*.*
  • 2023-??-??.pdf | ??-??-2023.pdf
Exclude directories Set up directory exclusions using exact directory names or wildcard patterns. The asterisk * wildcard matches multiple characters in a directory name, while the question mark ? stands in for a single character.

For multiple directory exclusions separate your entries with the pipe | symbol. The filter also supports excluding complex directory paths containing multiple levels. · Learn folder masks and wildcards
Examples:
  • my_directory
  • legal/outdated | legal/*/drafts
  • projects-2023-?? | projects-2024-??
