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
