Hello, I have a Mac an a PC and i was wondering if there is a fast/easy way to share a project(s) between the two machines. Has anyone had any luck using something like bit bucket to share unity projects across machines? Thanks!
Dropbox is the way to go, providing the project size is <2GB.
setup a private svn server. (visualsvn)
Its how I do it.

I had your exact problem. Solved it with a Ethernet cable.
Ha, yeah i thought of that, but was hoping for something more. I will probably try drop box or google drive i suppose. I really liked bit bucket on my mac, but having a heck of a time cloning repository on windows.
How about the asset server?
I am cheap… 
Yep, bitbucket is a very good option. If you set up mercurial or git correctly and don’t have to work on scenes simultaneously with other people it works like a charm. Also you could just leave bitbucket out of it and just use mercurial for example but even if just for an offsite backup it’s a good idea to use it.
If its just for yourself, then Dropbox works very well, but for collaboration i would recommend Bitbucket or a similar solution since its way superior solution for managing assets and code with several users.
Even alone version control is far superior to dropbox or any similar solution. The ability to make a total overhaul of some system for example and then just roll back to an earlier version if it doesn’t work out saves a lot of headaches.
Of course, personally i would never develop a game without version control and use it for all my projects, but it all depends on the person i guess and what demands they have.
Yeah, that’s true. If you’ve never used version control before it can seem very taunting and just putting your project in a dropbox folder seems easier. But once you get the hang of it, it’s completely worth it.
You can also put your git-repro on dropbox if you don’t want to host via bitbucket.org
Also checkout SourceTree which is available for mac/windows.
Thanks guys, very helpful!
