I think it's so that it can later return files to you without you having to go back in to the site and download. I think. Is that right Andy?

That's good. I hate waiting for a service to return my file after I upload it to them.

When you're new at dealing with PCB houses, you may need to incorporate their suggestions and make some changes to conform to their design rules. It's the kind of thing nobody gets right the first time. It's not uncommon to swap your CAD files back and forth a few times. Treating Dropbox like a shared drive is one way to do that, although it's not what the service is really meant for.

We use Dropbox to make it easy to upload minor changes to your design. Layervault explain this use case very well,

we need to do a better job of explaining why Dropbox is worthwhile.
