I had kind of a bad experience with it. My colleague set up an account to share with four of us who needed to work on a group presentation together. And it was awesomely useful to be able to collaborate on a single document and merge different contributions and access it from several different places, without having to mess around with source control when it would have been overkill. However, when we actually came to give the presentation (in front of an audience including people who were going to be giving us marks), Dropbox said the file was corrupted and couldn't be opened. Obviously we were prepared and had a clean copy on a USB stick, but it made me a lot less inclined to trust Dropbox.
