When you're new at dealing with PCB houses, you may need to incorporate their suggestions and make some changes to conform to their design rules. It's the kind of thing nobody gets right the first time. It's not uncommon to swap your CAD files back and forth a few times. Treating Dropbox like a shared drive is one way to do that, although it's not what the service is really meant for.

we need to do a better job of explaining why Dropbox is worthwhile.
