Don't overlook the "plain GitHub" option for collaborating. If everyone is familiar with git, it avoids a lot of trouble.

it's better for me to chuck paper/writeup in a directory with the model on github for example, than dropbox or something

In some ways dropbox makes it too easy to collaborate badly, esp. for time-pressured people.
