What exactly is the intended use case? On my home computer, it's faster for me to right click, save and my Dropbox opens up.

On other computers, I have to remember to go to your website (and thus remember your URL) and sign into Dropbox. I might as well download it to a Downloads folder and then upload it to dropbox.com.

One use case I'm imagining - being on a poor 3G connection and wanting to save something to your Dropbox for later. I don't want to have spent hours downloading it over 3G when I can use this and have it ready on my otherwhere located desktop which will have it by the time I get there.

Its actually meant for users to save their files, really huge files to their Dropbox.

Its meant to solve the pain of downloading the files to your Downloads folder and then uploading it.

Yeah sorry for the url thing, I m coming up with a Browser extension soon.
