BTW, I think that using dropbox in a git controlled directory 
might not be a good idea: if there are conflicts of files inside 
of the .git directory between two machines, you will never notice 
them because dropbox doesn't report them, so the actual git repos 
might be different between the two machines. I you are using git, 
why don't you clone the main org directory in the other machine 
and pull changes when you use the other machine?

Best,
