Has anyone tried anything like this? Would it work? I was hoping to get some insight to avoid wasting a ton of time. For example, if I work on Mac all day and make 100 changes to files, then load up Windows 10, that Dropbox application would see a whole bunch of changes that it didn't make. However, that would mean two different Dropbox clients will both be looking at files that may have been changed by the other Dropbox client.
My plan is to create three partitions - One with HFS (or whatever the MacOS file system is called), one with NTFS for Windows 10 and a third partition with FAT32 that both OS's can read/write without issue. I have limited SSD space, so I wanted to try to make them share a Dropbox folder.
