nice to have, but don't see myself ever using this feature. I normally just drop files into my drive-mapped Dropbox folder.

I think that the main use comes from when you're not at your own computer. If you're at work or a friend's house, it'll be far simpler to just drag the file into the browser than to install dropbox.

I'm in that situation about four times a year and this will be a huge time saver compared to the old system.

Ahhhhhh.

They really ought to state the customer use-case on-blog, I use Dropbox on only my own computers and didn't understand the point at all.

Well, you know, you could upload from your browser before, too. While it is definitely a nice feature, it is not like it adds functionality...

None of Dropbox is new functionality that wasn't available before. Somehow they're a 4 billion dollar company.

It's really nice if you're on a friend's computer and want to copy a file to your own Dropbox account.
