Hosting Visual Studio projects on Dropbox

I develop on both my desktop and laptop and I often switch between the two. Are there any issues with keeping the project folder in my Dropbox and always available / editable? I am running VS2010 on both, but W7 on one and W8 on the other.

I am using Dropbox to host my project and I edit and build right there and have no problem whatsoever. Win7, VS2010, CPP. I find Dropbox simpler and more reliable than version control software. I'm a huge fan. I have to say that Microsoft OneDrive once failed me, horribly, and I no longer believe in it. With Dropbox, I always carefully check the icon in the system unit to make sure it's complete before I turn off my computer.

I use it a lot. But I have some problems. It seems like VS and Dropbox are in conflict sometime. It shows, leaving some temporary source files or compilation errors on a file that was locked.

Actually I came here looking how to solve them. But still this is just a small problem and I continue to use it this way for a long time.



EDIT: It's not just me. See Visual studio 2012 and dropbox don't play well together for a SuperUser question.
