How to use Dropbox as a git server?

Do note that, with multiple users that have write access and push at the same time, this can result in race conditions and corrupted repositories. So only use this for a personal repository, or when the others only have read access.

Not only that, but you could have multiple users to begin with. Since all files are synced on save, two people couldn't be working at the same time. Well, I guess they could, but good luck editing the same file. Or even trying to commit. You could easily overwrite the other persons files without knowing it.

Agreed. It's not running Git as a server, just putting the repository somewhere public.
