While possible  it s potentially very risky - if you attempt to commit changes to the repository from 2 different locations simultaneously  you ll get a giant mess due to the file conflicts  Get a free private SVN host somewhere  or set up a repository on a server you have access to   Edit based on a recent experience  If you have files open that are managed by Dropbox and your computer crashes  your files may be truncated to 0 bytes  If this happens to the files which manage your repository  your repository will be corrupted  If you discover this soon enough  you can use Dropbox s  recover old version  feature but you re still taking a risk

I made my own subversion repository on my Ubuntu One folder  Then  I imported the files to the repository using svn ssh and my user account password   When I want to do a checkout  I just checkout from my Ubuntu One folder  The commit process its analogue   You must setup Ubutnu One on the devices that you want to grant access  then checkout the project from this folder to a temporary folder to edit it   In my case  I use a folder in the Ubuntu One file-system  so I have the repository and my develop-folder in Ubuntu One

Here s one application that works for me  In our case   I wanted the Sales team to use SVN for certain docs  Price sheets and such    but a bit over there head   I setup an Auto SVN like this  - Created a REPO in my SVN server  - Checked out repo into a DB folder call AutoSVN  - I run EasySVN on my PC  which auto commits and updates the REPO   With he  Auto   there are no log comments  but not critical for these particular docs   The Sales guys use the DB folder   and simply maintain the file name of those docs that need version control such as price sheets
