Tell Me Why I Should Care About Dropbox

Here are the reasons I don't think I need Dropbox. You can imply what I know about it from below.
1) Everything important to me is backed up remotely somewhere. I have photos uploaded to a web server (and hardly take any photos at all anymore), important documents are in Google Docs, on my sd card, on a hard drive and in gmail.
2) It's horribly inconvenient. Gmail backs up all my contacts automatically. Actually, it doesn't "back them up" at all.. but they are effectively backed up with no interaction from me. They automatically show up everywhere I want them -- when I want to write an email, call somebody, or just give a phone number to someone. Dropbox doesn't integrate like this. If I want to look at my resume on my phone, I have to go through the extra hassle of setting up a location to sync.
3) The storage size just doesn't make sense. If you're storing just regular old documents, 50gb is WAY more than you'll ever need. It should also cover photos for the vast majority of people. If you want to back up EVERYTHING, it's not even close to enough.
I have been "kind of" using Google Docs, and it's "kind of" ok. There are a few docs and spreadsheets I like to be able to look at and update while I'm on the go. I can do it, but it's not very convenient still. It takes several clicks and waiting for loading to look at my shopping list.

Also, Google Docs = Google Drive. Same thing as Dropbox.

Whenever I download apps on my computer, I drop them in my dropbox folder and grab my phone, launch the dropbox app and click to install the apk. I also download roms on my computer, put them in my dropbox, then open dropbox, export the rom to my sd card, boot into recovery and flash away. Dropbox cut the cord between my phone and computer almost completely. I use it all the time.
I use it for all the same reasons and love it. I drop all the wallpapers in my dropbox and them grab them from my phone for quick testing on how they look. Its awesome not having to use a cord all the time and wait for the sdcards to unmount and all that junk.
