<i>Dropbox storage is 5x as expensive as hard drive space, so what&#x27;s the point?</i><p>Yes and no.  I have about 80 GB in my dropbox.  This is no problem on my two workstations or my big laptop.  Unfortunately my Macbook Air has a 128 GB drive.  That means I keep having to exclude and include folders to be synced to my laptop or it will run out of space.  That is a pain in the ass I would love to avoid.
