I use this for some OSS projects I help maintain (symlinks in Dropbox, actual dirs on my GOPATH, etc.). The use-case for me is syncing between my laptop &amp; desktop without having to remember to git pull everything before a flight&#x2F;trip.<p>There are <i>occasional</i> conflicted copies (once every few months), but it&#x27;s rare and I don&#x27;t recall encountering one in quite some time (months).<p>Tips:<p>* Don&#x27;t work on things concurrently
* It&#x27;s brittle (like any sync service) if you&#x27;re editing things when that folder is still updating. This is especially so when it comes to git.
* Repositories with lots of small files take a long time to sync.
