Using the dropbox as a NetBeans 8 project repository in Windows

I'm using NetBeans 8 in my projects and would love to use the dropbox as the versioner. I set up the repository in Dropbox but with the project directory in another path. It may be that I'm confusing things, but what is sent to the dropbox folder is just the .git directory.

However, the project is not sent to the dropbox, what remains is only the .git which makes it impossible for a person who has access to my dropbox folder to start the project, upgrade, and so on. I searched for tutorials and information, but everything from the command line, does it really have to be that way from the command line? Sorry for not having any code to send.

java git netbeans

One of the main advantages of Git is that it is a distributed versioning tool. That is, each developer can contribute code to other repositories and at the same time maintain a public repository where others can base their work and what they can contribute. [1]

The idea of using Dropbox as the repository's centralizer, allowing other people with access to it to work on the project is not bad, but the result may not be what you expect. There may be a risk that two developers are using one at a time, and commit will override the other.

Working with Git using a remote repository (disregarding Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.) is ideal in such cases. As quoted by Math, Bitbucket is an option for free private repositories. Github is also an alternative, which is private only if you subscribe to a plan.
