Ignoring versioning in a specific subfolder

Support
1

I’m using versioning in a shared folder, however the pattern of activity in one specific subfolder involves a lot of churn, ie lots of files added then deleted. This is how I use it.

The trouble is that versioning does what it’s supposed to do and keeps all old files. Is there a way to exclude this subfolder from any versioning ?

(Of course a working solution here would be to ignore all syncs on this subfolder and make a new share specifically for it, but I wanted to know if there are other ways)

Unfortunately, this isn’t possible unless you use External Versioning with your own script. I think the easiest “solution” would be to just write a separate custom script to clean the versions folder of what you don’t need, and then run it on a schedule (e.g. with Task Scheduler in Windows, etc.).
