Google-drive – Ignore certain file types in Google Drive

google-drive

Is it possible to exclude certain types of files in a folder in Google Drive? E.g. say I wanted to upload everything, except all .txt files; like *.txt in a .gitignore file. Is there any way to do this?

At this time it's not possible to set upload file exceptions or exclusion rules when uploading a folder from the Web UI.

An alternative among many others is to use your OS file explorer to search for the files to upload and the drag the files from the file explorer window to the desired folder on the Google Drive web UI.
