I have had problems with Dropbox generating "Conflicting files". I think
this is because some of my computers are only intermittently connected
to Dropbox. Sorting this out can be very time consuming, especially if
it happens inside a .git directory.
I have now gone down the git route for emacs init files and all my .org
files. I keep a separate branch for each computer and do a git pull and
git merge when I move to a different computer. This does have some
disadvantages - you need to remember to commit and push your changes on
each computer. However, sorting out mistakes is generally much easier.
Regarding your .emacs you can use elisp to distinguish various bits of
your configuration on an OS and computer name basis. Have a look at
http://sigquit.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/single-dot-emacs-file/ for a
good guide.
