How to use Drop box as source control

So now, you and a couple friends wish to use a source control to work on a project together, but, github doesn’t work, perforce isn’t free enough, and that subversion thing is confusing! whatever will you do? well, you could use dropbox.
Now I hear you ask, “Now how in the high hickory heck do I do that?!” Well, read the steps below and find out!

>first, get drop box, you will need to get drop box desktop
>create a project, and upload it to the drop box,
>now this is important, Launch unreal engine, not the project!! and then click the browse button in the bottom left
>now, find the unreal engine .uproject file, it usually has a blue symbol, it will be inside the dropbox, which is usually in C:\users(your computer name here)\dropbox(project name here)
>simply select the .uproject file in there, and you’re good to go! you can now launch that project through your library tab in the epic games launcher.
>you can tell which it is by hovering over the picture with your mouse, and looking at the file path

And thats it, whenever someone updates the dropbox, it should update your project too!
