Pros
Dropbox for Android brings their cloud file storage solution for convenient collaboration with mobile phones. With a Dropbox account you can access your files like documents, pictures, videos, music and more across multiple computers; PC or Mac, mobile devices and the Dropbox website! Upload or easily share files in your Dropbox, plus all files automatically synced and backed up by Dropbox. The cool thing about Dropbox’s service is that you can share folder contents with someone simply by the their email address, granted they accept the access on their end.
Dropbox initially gives you 2 gigabytes of free storage space for creating an account and offers another 250 megabytes for completing the Getting Started tour. If you choose to upgrade the service they offer 50GB for $9.99/month or $99.00/year and 100GB for $19.99/month or $199.00/year.

In my case, Dropbox is very useful for sharing large video files captured from my Android phone. Since I like to shoot all video under the highest possible setting versus MMS or YouTube quality, the caveat of the HQ setting makes sharing the vid while mobile, without plugging into a computer, a pain because you cannot upload or email files that are too large. However Dropbox alleviates that as I can upload and share the link from there.
Many people are still apprehensive about storing their personal or confidential documents in “the Cloud” due to privacy and/or security concerns… to each their own opinion. As for myself the convenience and cost effectiveness cloud storage services offer are key. (Be sure to read their terms and conditions on privacy and security concerns).
The app and service is really simple and easy to use. For mobile, it allows you to create, upload and share files from your phone to the cloud or vice versa. Say you wanted to download and edit a Word document, this can be handed off to other 3rd party Android apps like Documents To Go and OfficeSuite Pro for Android for Microsoft Office document editing.
Really user dependent on your needs for collaborative document storage and sharing.
The user interface is simple, organized and easy to navigate or search for files.

Great application. I’ve been using the free account of Dropbox for several months on my PC, iPod Touch, and Evo. Works really well and haven’t had any issues. Great for taking documents with you without the use of email or flash drives. Just drag and drop from your desktop to the Dropbox folder and watch in sync to your phone in minutes!
I think a ‘Con’ to list in this article is that it can remove approximately 4 hours from your average battery life as it tries to sync all the time…
They keep updating the app but keep ignoring users complaints about heavy battery life.
I install it as I need it and then uninstall it afterwards until they actually release a fix for it.
Can’t say I had that issue. From what I’ve discovered, the app doesn’t have a background sync.
I use this to sync my Password Safe files across machines, but I’ve found that if load the Password Safe file through Dropbox for Android, the edits don’t get sync’d back to the cloud. This is a known issue that Dropbox is working on – the app allows you to download and upload from/to your dropbox account, but files changed on Android don’t get synchronized back automatically.
