Don't forget (or discover from this reply...) that you do have the 
option of limiting the amount of bandwidth DropBox uses.

I don't have a Windows machine on at the moment, so this is from memory, 
but you do this by clicking on the DropBox icon in the bottom right to 
call up its little window, then on the cogwheel icon to open its 
settings window.

Somewhere in there you'll find an option to limit the upload/download 
speed (I *think* there are two separate options, one for each way.)

Indeed.

Possibly not what you meant, but in particular be careful about using it 
for anything sensitive. I use it because certain of my clients insist on 
using it to share files with me - but otherwise it would be something 
about barge poles.
