With Dropbox I've had a some "conflicted copy" issues; this is annoying (and is the sort of thing that would have been solved much more easily with version control) but happens very rarely. What I like about this is that my frequent changes in org files get propagated without the need for an explicit version control command. However, for safety and for tracking, I run a nightly job with bazaar where I commit all changes (this is done in only one of the machines, of course). This has actually proven extremely useful when, by mistake, I have deleted a complete subtree and only realized maybe a month later.
