What is Dropbox used for?

This app keeps emailing and invading my laptop and I can't find a single use for it? Does drop box have a real function?

    Yes, it does. 

     

    In simplest forms it removes the need for transferring files between devices - whatever I do on my home machine appears on my laptop, mobile and work devices almost instantly. 

     

    There are also lots of other things like sharing, file transfer, editing and collaboration which is possible 🙂
