OPDS is an open protocol. A number of e-readers support it and provide the user a completely integrated experience. It is as if the catalog they are browsing is part of the e-reader. This is how those e-readers make services such as Feedbooks available. A strong feature of OPDS is that it provides full-text search through an entire library within the e-reader. personalbookspace implements this.
Using Dropbox requires more technical skills. In order to provide the same experience as browsing through folders you create yourself, you need a tool like Calibre2OPDS, which will generate a website for you that you have to upload to Dropbox. This is not an option for many people. It is also tedious to maintain when changes occur in your library.
With personalbookspace you just create folders and copy books into them. You can move around your books, change your folders, etc. All changes are visible in the e-reader immediately.
