Indeed. I've used Dropbox a bit and had exactly that experience,
especially with dot files.
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll take a look at SpiderOak. (I will
certainly use your referral if I do decide to use it.)

I now have two laptops which I'll use somewhat interchangeably. What's a

My main job is teaching, so I have many teaching notes and other
documents. Dropbox might be a good way to sync these. I'm going to be
doing some 3D design so I'll have inkscape and blender files as well.
Dropbox again, I think.
If you go with dropbox, you may find yourself creating an awful lot of
symlinks to get everything you want synchronized.
I personally prefer SpiderOak; same basic idea, but a lot more
customizeable. They claim client side encryption with no keys stored
on the server; the codebase is not open source so it's hard to tell
for sure, but they talk a better talk than DropBox.
[Full disclosure; I have a spideroak account, and if you want to try
them, I'd be happy if you'd use this referral link
https://spideroak.com/download/referral/a2c5a8d4bd5bfb6b748c0a912cd30aeb
; it's an extra 1GB for each of us . Note that their normal free
accounts start at 2GB, but I'm pretty sure that either
"worldbackupday" or "hurricanesafe" are still valid coupons for 5GB
(or 6GB if you use the referral link]
