Lots of things have nothing to do with a repo? I work remotely with my colleagues. We constantly are doing stuff like creating/updating excel files and all sorts of other stuff that has nothing to do with source code. With dropbox (or equivalents) I update something in the file, and it's updated right away everywhere no matter where my co-workers are. Dropbox also has good enough built-in version history (especially on business), it will keep the changes of any file for like 6 months. So if I want to look how this excel file looked an hour ago, I just click "version history" and it pulls up all the different files and I can restore any one. So for people who work remotely and just want to sync files / have some ability to restore previous versions dropbox is a life changer. Yeah, of course this could all be setup to have each person on a VPN and using a shared folder on a server where we are logged into the domain or we setup a ZFS filesystem which takes snapshots and I can restore etc etc. In a small company, F that. I've done all that bullshit, it isn't worth the time and maintenance when you just want a damn synced filesystem among co-workers. So there is the value proposition!
