I understand this, which is why I specifically said it wasn't wrong. Just saying that serious issues could arise when a less experienced developer shares their Dropbox folder and others treat that folder as their own clone of the repository. This should never happen because we know better, but the realist in me says its inevitably going to happen at some point.

Yeah that's a potential problem if people are doing that. I certainly don't recommend sharing a repo directory among multiple people via Dropbox.

I don't share my sync folders publicly at all, they exist only for my own convenience when it comes to switching between different systems as needed.
