fatal: failed to read object X Input/output error fatal: index-pack failed - Git pull with Dropbox

Question

I moved my git repo into a Dropbox shared account. And since then, each time I do a git pull I get the following error:

fatal: failed to read object e1ad9cbb1cb523a82191acd817fdc68d0388a45e: Input/output error
fatal: index-pack failed

Do you guys know what could be the problem?

Answer 1

Okay, I actually found the issue.

Since Dropbox added its new feature Smart Sync You need to make sure all your files in your .git are synced locally.
