Even when I'm by myself, I still need version control. It's nice to know that I can easily go back to any version I've checked into the system.

I use visual SVN for windows+tortoise SVN. I also can ssh into my box and check source files in from anywhere. If I had more than one person working on my source, I would start using Git.

Can Dropbox do this?

Most of the discussion on this post is part of a thread about whether or not you should use source control and what it is used for?

This is basic stuff!
