Hi Adam, that is super smart. Originally I was using a desktop + laptop with my workspaces in Dropbox two way syncing between them. That let me work at either computer on the same project and have it all backed up at the same time, which is a lot less of an issue now that I mostly use my laptop. It did get me thinking about options for a two way sync though – have you looked at Unison as an alternative to rsync for bidirectional sync to the DropBox folder (and beyond)? I might play around with it if I get some time soon and will let you know if it make anything interesting happen. Cheers!

PS – nice work on FullCalendar!

It has some added benefits in that it will work for all future node_modules directories, and also ignores everything that git ignores. I wrote a guide: https://arshaw.com/exclude-node-modules-dropbox-google-drive
