Question by bman85 · Oct 28, 2013 at 01:49 AM · ioswindowsmacdropbox

Mac and Windows Dropbox problem

My friend and I are working on a unity ios project on a windows computer. We used dropbox to try to move it to my Mac. When we did so, my friend was able to open the project on his windows computer but I am unable to open it on my Mac. Is there a reason that this happens? Is it something that occurs often?

I would strongly recommend not opening the same project folder on a mac and windows machine.

See my answer here about moving/copying a project folder, and I can strongly recommend you use version control (use git if you have no personal preference so far) to share the project with your friend, or even with yourself between computers.

See my version control answer here.

Nice Danny. But @bman85 make sure you take a stop and watch some git tutorials, git could easily get frustrating. I recommend this guy.

Thanks vexe, I guess you are the one who did some upvoting all over the place, appreciate that. :)

I second that - for me git in command line is almost a no-go. smartgit or some other git GUI is probably the way to go for beginners and lazy pros.

You need source control, ideally subversion.

1) establish a subversion repo somewhere (free or a small $ per month)

2) on the mac get VersonsApp.com

3) on the PC get a svn client

Find and follow the usual simple instructions for using source control with unity (ignore library folder, set certain options correctly, etc)
