Have you tried to use Atom Sync Settings instead? It does the job for me.

    @DamjanPavlica Other workaround would be to push all the necessary atom files to your git repository & make subsequent pushes as & when you make changes in the atom settings.

  • @DamjanPavlica You can use [package-sync](https://atom.io/packages/package-sync) in combination with Git. I simply added the relevant files to [my homegit](https://github.com/thutterer/homegit) – thutt Nov 08 '17 at 11:36

If you don't absolutely need Dropbox, atom-package-sync is a package that I created a couple weeks ago. It works a little bit like the synchronization of Google Chrome, you just login and it syncs your packages and settings automatically across all your Atom instances.

enter image description here

I plan to release the source code for the server side in the coming weeks and add an export feature for alternative backups.
