| Jun 21, 2011 at 10:24 | comment | added | Mark Booth | @Jarrod Robertson - I think you misunderstood, Jetti was suggesting using dropbox to store a remote clone of your repository, leaving the working directory along with the local repo on the local machine. | |
| Jun 21, 2011 at 5:25 | comment | added | Pete | While I use a Mercurial solution now, I used Dropbox in the past. It was fine for smaller projects and only once in a long while would I have issues with files being locked by the dropbox client for syncing. That said, I wouldn't recommend dropbox for that purpose but I would argue that it's better than nothing. | |

dropbox is a terrible solution, just imagine what happens when you do a compile and all those binaries get created in the dropbox folder and start saturating your connection with them being uploaded and synced, then you do a clean and another compile, ridiculous trying to develop out of a networked directory.
