Why would you put your git repo in DropBox?  That seems counter-intuitive to me.  I specifically keep anything in a VCS out of DropBox since then you&#x27;re versioning stuff twice....<p>I have just under 150,000 files in DropBox and haven&#x27;t noticed any performance issues.  DropBox rarely shows up in Activity Monitor&#x27;s first 20 CPU users (unlike MediaFire which is usually burning CPU for no reason and only managing 200 files).<p>Perhaps it&#x27;s an OS difference?  I am on OS X 10.11.1.
