You can only revert changes to states that you have explicitly stored and uploaded. Dropbox does that automatically any time you save a file. That simplicity makes it more reliable. You will never lose anything you saved. And with rewind you can go back to any point in time. The advantage of git comes from its branch/merge features. But for a single developer on a small project that doesn't know git well that's not worht the complexity.
- gozar 7y agoI moved my notes folder to git after having conflicted files for the upteemth time from Dropbox. Two things that keep everything in sync: 1. Every two minutes my notesync.sh script runs, which basically does git add --all;git commit -am "New commit";git pull;git push. 2. Vim with AutoSave.vim which saves the document as I write. Yes, there are a lot of commits, but I don't have to worry about losing anything.
