If you install the Dropbox client application on your computer, it is exactly the same. I.e., you will be simply copying the project file and related media to another location within Windows Explorer. And, if the collaborator also has the client app, you can create a shared folder and data copied on one computer will automatically be copied to the other. This saves the trouble of compressing/zipping the files.Getting it off of your machine onto the thumbdrive and vice versa entails about the exact same procedure as if you wanted to upload, except for the specifics of uploading to the site you choose. That part is replaced by the logistics of actually getting the physical media back and forth.
There's the project file itself. ...
I am not familiar with Reaper, but in Logic, all of the related folders/files are stored in subdirectories below the project folder (which appears as a project "file" in OS X's Finder), so you can be oblivious to the details while doing operations on a project, unless you explicitly show the project contents (i.e., expand the folder).
I would recommend *not* ever working on a project that is in a Dropbox folder - just copy to/from that folder to a local folder where you keep your projects.
