Read the Scrivener Manual (under Help), section titled “Scrivener Everywhere” to learn how to safely keep a live project healthy while editing it in your dropbox folder.
Time to wait for Lit & Lat to get around to providing their own “cloud” service: 0 days. Cost to you: 0 Lucre (unless you need more space than is provided for free by dropbox). Impact on speed of new features added to Scrivener: none.
In addition to all the above, you can do an “external folder sync” to dropbox so that mobile apps can edit a select set of documents and have those changes re-imported back to your Mac Scrivener project (not implemented yet in Win/Linux). So you really CAN have it everywhere, to some degree. When the iOS version comes out, even more options will be available to you, but I bet it’ll still be dependent on Dropbox, Sugarsync, or some other cloud service that syncs with files on your hard drive.
So pine no more! You can get to any of your projects that you like, from many different devices! Just don’t open them on more than one device at a time.
