| autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead * | |
| \ if expand('%:~') =~ '^\~/Dropbox' | | |
| \ set noswapfile | | |
| \ else | | |
| \ set swapfile | | |
| \ endif |
swapfile is local to the buffer, so I don't think re-enabling it is necessary. I am using this for now:
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead {$HOME/Dropbox/*} setlocal noswapfile | let b:NoSwapSuck_NoSwapfile = 1

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Remove_swap_and_backup_files_from_your_working_directory seems to have an alternative for storing the swap file in a different directory.
