you must have never had a hard-drive that crashed, or a laptop that got stolen, or had to share a 2gig project with a friend.

2 things people pay for:

   - Convenience
   - Peace of Mind
I don't pay for dropbox but I'd just like to say that "peace of mind" is pretty valuable.

My friends use it to share pictures and music/movies. We don't have to think about it anymore. That's something.

Lastly, I'm a professional freaking software engineer and I don't know how to get files onto my droid x. Then I remembered dropbox has an app. Well what do you know; put file in folder; file appears on phone..! =)
