Is there a way to sync Sublime Text settings across multiple computers?

Question

I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop. Now I have set up my ENV to sync with the help of a dropbox link.

Is there a way to sync my Sublime Text 3 settings betwee

Despite DropBox, you can simply use Git to sync Sublime Text settings and Package Control Packages:

1. Create a repository (e.g. on GitHub)

2. Create a gitignore file with the following content:

   # Ignore everything...
   *
   # ... except preferences and package list
   !.gitignore
   !Preferences.sublime-settings
   !Package Control.sublime-settings
   

3. Set up the created repository in the user directory (Windows 10: ~/AppData/Roaming/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User, Ubuntu: ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User) of the first computer with the following Git commands:

   $ git init
   $ git remote add origin 
   $ git fetch
   $ git commit -am "added: settings and packages"
   $ git push
   

4. Set up the repository on all other computers (the last line overwrites the current settings with those from the repository):

   $ git init
   $ git remote add origin 
   $ git fetch
   $ git reset --hard origin/master
   

Now you just have to pull/push changes from the repository to have your settings and packages synchronized. In addition you can sync the settings with the Git Package for Sublime Text. Here you don’t have to switch to a Git Shell to pull or push the changes but you can do it right in Sublime Text.
