June 13, 201313 yr Hi all, I hope everyone seeing this post is in good health and spirit! I was wondering if anyone has any interesting ways they use Dropbox to help with web development? I am thinking to use it to sync local files and databases on all devices, for working on wordpress stuff. Any thoughts?
June 15, 201313 yr I've used it for version control and it worked quite well. I'd love to hear about how you use it to sync local files on devices. Do you work directly out of a dropbox folder then?
June 15, 201313 yr I use it as back up, WordPress can back up to it at set times. I use it as my picture library, my repos and best of all, I sync sublime with it, for home and work. Make sure you upload some camera photos to get an extra 3gb evu.
June 15, 201313 yr Make sure you upload some camera photos to get an extra 3gb Good tip. There are actually lots of ways to earn extra space and most of them are pretty simple: https://www.dropbox.com/getspace
June 15, 201313 yr getting a phone that comes with a drop box account is one of the best ways to get free space. I'm rocking a free 59gb atm
June 16, 201313 yr Author In answer to mantis, I intend to just sync wp-content folder and dump an sql backup of the wp database to a folder that maps to all my devices. I'll probably use a third party file sync app to copy updated files from wp-content from the local server directory to dropbox. All devices will have same local server setup.
