Forget about code and Git, Dropbox is not even good for photo sharing.

I went to vacation with a group of people. Everyone had his/her own camera. We decided to make a folder in Dropbox and share it with everyone so we can share our photos and get other people photos.

After a week my photos started to disappear. Why? Because my lady friend didn't like the photo I took from her and deleted it from "her own computer". But it was actually in a shared folder.

I don't know if this "shared folder" concept thing is too complicated or Dropbox can not handle it. Anyway in my experience it did not work.

I don't understand what the problem is?

It is a shared folder. If someone deletes something, it is deleted everywhere. That isn't a bug, that is the purpose of Dropbox.
