I use Dropbox to access files on multiple devices and as a form of backup method. For example, I could access notes on-the-go on my phone whilst on placement. I primarily use it for University, both education and research. I have also used it less frequently for sharing documents with people; this use was more common during my undergrad studies when I was involved with committees.

I do a lot of music teaching so having a folder of resources ( sometimes large Logic Pro X projects) for each student that I can simple send them a dropbox link for them to download - is incredibly useful and saves me have to log on to we transfer and physically email them items. I retain complete control of the folder ( so can change the contents at any time).
When I have a gig coming up - I put all the arrangement parts etc pdfs with set list and mp3s -in a dropbox folder and email the link to the band members. They can then prepare the material/download as they need .. if I need to change anything I can do that and just let them know if something has changed.
After the gig I 'dismantle' the Folder and put the material in a general music folder which can later be subdivided for the next gig, material added etc

I started using DB shortly after its launch and have referred many people to it. I blelieve in your product and find it invaluably useful. I use it to back up and maintain access to critical documents and files across several comptuers and devices. I like being able to access my files from wherever I am at, even if it is just through the web interface. It is truly one of the most critical tools I have in my computing and productivity.

Hi there
My wife and I also share "critical personal" information between our Dropbox accounts. She is disabled and worried what she needs to do "if I am not there anymore". Dropbox makes it easy. I created a shared folder, and upload all documents she will ever need just for incase.
Regards
Casper

I sent family photos to my brother via Dropbox, but he refused to open them. He said that after reading the Dropbox agreement, he feared that Dropbox could access all of the photos he has stored on his PC and alter/delete them. My nephew, who does cyber security for a Fortune 500 company, said that scenario would be highly unlikely; however, he said this is still possible. I have stopped using Dropbox amongst family members but would appreciate your comments.

I use Dropbox in my iPad - 90% is for recipes. Love how it's easy to find a certain recipe. I've made files such as Vegetarian, Italian, Asian, Middle East, Dessert, Meat/Fish, Sauces, etc. - only because I don't like strolling down a long list with no end in sight. Say I need a recipe that includes carrots, or rose water, or jalapeño - just type in that word in the search tool and bam.
