</span>If (as I do) one uses Dropbox to mirror one's work for security, the last thing one needs is for Dropbox to continually synch one's ephemeral files (.aux, .log, .ind/idx, .pdf, etc), whence my unvarying use of --output-directory via TeXworks configuration options.<br>

I mean every day, all the time. I've never noticed a problem with Dropbox mirroring my ephemeral files, even the synctex one. I have moderately fast wifi at home and fast ethernet at work; it might be different if the bandwidth was low and slow. The little dropbox icon shows that my files are updated more or less instantly. I honestly have never noticed any overhead.</div></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline"><br></div></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline">Best,</div></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline">Dominik</div></div></div></div></div>
