Hosting Visual Studio projects in dropbox

Question

I develop both on my desktop and laptop, and I am frequently switching between them. Are there any problems that could arise from keeping a project folder in my dropbox and always accessing/editing from there? I'm running the VS2010 on both, but W7 on one and W8 on the other.

Answer 1

I'm using it often. But I do experience some issues. It seems that sometime VS and Dropbox conflict. This shows by leaving some temporary source files or by errors during compilation of file being locked.

In fact I came here while looking how to solve them. But still they are only a little issue and I keep using it that way for a long time.

EDIT: It is not just me. See Visual studio 2012 and dropbox don't play nice together question on SuperUser.
