There is the overhead of maintenance. Dropbox makes backups automatically. Also, sharing repos is very easy with Dropbox, even to a new member. You don't have to open an ssh account for another team member.

But you have to resolve dropbox conflicts. That work grows as you add people, whereas adduser is a constant amount of work for each new team member.

What maintenance is there for git over ssh? And, git makes backups automatically :)
