Well, actually Dropbox doesn't work at the file level... it creates a patch of the binary changes.
I mean, it is robust in that if it sees that the file it has a change for doesn't match the same base that it got the change from it won't apply the change. So... the corruption you are concerned about won't happen. Sure... they will get out of sync and you will have to remedy it.

No, I am saying it won't cause corruption which is what you stated. Also, you won't have any "data loss" either... the data will still exist where you made the original change. You just have to manually reconcile the conflict.
