Synchronise configuration files with Dropbox

Move your configuration files into your Dropbox folder and then symlink to them, for example: mv ~/.vimrc ~/Dropbox/config/vimrc
ln -s ~/Dropbox/config/vimrc ~/.vimrc Don't try and symlink out from your Dropbox folder as symlinks will get overwritten with the destination of the link on synchronisation.
