Synology Drive - Exclude node_modules

Adds node_modules to Synology Drive Client's blacklist filter for all sync sessions on Windows. Prevents node_modules from being synced across devices — run npm install on each device instead.

Usage

Double-click RUN ME.bat and follow the prompts.

What it does

1. Finds your Synology Drive installation
2. Asks for confirmation before making changes
3. Stops Synology Drive
4. Adds node_modules to the directory exclusion list for all sync sessions
5. Restarts Synology Drive

Requirements

• Windows 10 or higher
• Synology Drive Client installed with at least one sync task configured

Files

• RUN ME.bat — Launcher, double-click to run
• synology-exclude-node-modules.ps1 — Script logic

Notes

• No admin privileges required
• Re-run after Synology Drive updates if the exclusion gets reset
• Safe to run multiple times — already excluded sessions are skipped
