A Git remote helper that lets you use a Dropbox folder or shared folder as a true Git remote, maintaining atomicity and concurrency guarantees that plain file-sync remotes lack. It is a Python CLI installed via pip/uv with OAuth-based Dropbox login.
Use cases
- use dropbox as a git remote
- sync a git repository between my machines via dropbox
- collaborate with others using a shared dropbox folder as git remote
- back up my git repos to dropbox
- avoid corrupted git repos in dropbox-synced folders
When to choose
- you want a free, zero-server Git remote backed by Dropbox storage
- you need safe concurrent pushes from multiple machines or collaborators
- you already use Dropbox and want version-controlled code there
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured Git host with issues, PRs, and CI
- you don't use Dropbox or want a self-hosted Git server
- you need large-scale team hosting with access controls
