Autodesk Projects and Dropbox

[the.miler]

We use SVN and Inventor on 846 (TortoiseSVN being the graphical user interface most of us use).

Having used both SVN to Dropbox to collaborate on projects, I greatly prefer SVN. When conflicts do happen, SVN provides a better means of resolving to the revision that we want to move forward with. It prevents students from just overriding changes and forces us to communicate, consider the issue, and make the correct decision.

We host our own repository on our own website, but you can very easily (and for free) host your own SVN repository with a 2 GB max. capacity on code.google.com.

Disclaimer: 2 GB capacity would not have worked for us in 2014, but in every other year I've been a member of 846 the repo has not exceeded 2 GB in size.
