Google can't index things behind a login wall (as far as we know...). It's also just sort of annoying (you may have a dropbox account but not be logged in at the moment on the device you're using) and unnecessary.

It's easy enough to not require the login wall for certain user agents (such as GoogleBot). Granted, it would be easier and better to not have it the first place.

  Google frowns on treating its not differently than a regular user. And the googlebot doesn't always identify itself as such.
