When creating a Git repository inside of a Dropbox folder using the GitHub application for OSX I get the following message:
Putting git repositories inside of a Dropbox folder is not recommended. Are you sure you want to create a repository here?
Why isn't that recommended?

Because git-remote-dropbox uses an on-disk format that's compatible with Git, accessing your repository without using the helper is easy: Download the repository data (a directory containing the objects and refs directories) from Dropbox. Make a new directory and initialize an empty Git repository in the directory.
Dropbox + GitLab IntegrationsZapier lets you send info between Dropbox and GitLab automatically—no code required. Triggers when a new file is added to a folder. Make sure the number of files/folders in the watched folder does not exceed 4000.
Original answer: On GitHub itself, you cannot group your repos by "folder", unless you create organizations.
You shouldn't store credentials like usernames, passwords, API keys and API secrets. If someone else steals your credentials, they can do nasty things with it.
If people are modifying files and using dropbox to do the syncing, you will likely run into problems.
If you use dropbox as a convenient way to give people read only links to your work, then I have found no issues with this and have been doing it for years.
