I'd just like to chime in and mention that I've been using Dropbox for over a year professionally with clients and couldn't be happier. The fact that my renders are already in place when I email someone because they sync immediately is really nice.  External links to files don't change, so if I send a client a list of deliverables and then have edits to those, I just tell them to check those links again and the new files are there for them.

The whole "public folder" thing is not really even used in my workflow. I right click any file on my computer that is within the Dropbox folder, choose "get shareable link" and I'm brought to a page that has the link for download and copying to give to clients. It even handily makes web galleries out of folders with images, and makes an embedded flash video player from my movies (codec independent) which allows clients to view the video right there in the browser.
