Exclude local directories and files from being included in Nextcloud

You can configure the directories and files to be included by setting the config entry from the command line.

occ config:app:set --value '[".snapshot","anotherfolder", "pattern/*/match"]' files_excludedirs exclude

Any file or folder matching one of the configured rules will not be included in Nextcloud if it exists on the filesystem and any user will be blocked from creating any file or folder matching any of the rules.

• Clone the repository (or download and uncompress it) into a new subdirectory under your nextcloud/apps directory called files_excludedirs
• In the files_excludedirs subdirectory run this command to install it: "composer install"
• Make sure the "Exclude directories" app inside nextcloud has been enabled, and you should be good to go!
