I love Dropbox. I think that it may have to do with the fact that I am a gadget girl and am able to access my files anywhere. I'm not ashamed to admit that I have Dropbox installed on 4 different forms of technology (my Mac, school laptop, iPhone, and iPad). The component that has been especially helpful is that I no longer need to bring my school laptop home or need to worry about losing a thumb drive. I can create documents at home, save them in my Dropbox, and then access them on my school laptop the following morning. It's really been a seamless process.
I have shared documents with colleagues and have had great success. We worked through one struggle, which is that only one person can access a file at a time or Dropbox will save two versions. Overall, I much prefer this method to Google Docs as you can save a Word Document and it will save in that format. I find Google Docs to be full of glitches and have only found one glitch with Dropbox as I mentioned before.
