Just double check that what goes in does come out. About 2.5 years ago I 
let Dropbox (Windows client) "backup" my Git repositories. Silently 
(unknown to me at the time), Dropbox decided to skip some files. So the 
backups ended up being useless. I ended up using Google Drive instead.

Just something to look out for and test - before you really need to rely 
on those backups.

On a side note... Git is a "distributed version control system". Every 
clone is a perfect copy of the repository. So you really don't need 
Dropbox to share content with others. Others can clone directly from 
your "public" directory on your machine (eg: in a LAN office environment).
