As for actual uses, I use this primarily to drop books onto Google Drive to pick up on other devices, without having to worry about finding whatever cable goes with whatever device, and hoping the cat hasn't bitten a hole in it.
I also have a folder there shared with my kids, where I drop books off for them.
At work I use this to create arbitrary collections of texts in discrete folders for analysis purposes.
In all these cases, I'm not creating folder structures at all, just dropping book files (sans covers and opf's) directly into a folder. I also run the server for when I am on a device and thinking "I need something new to read". I just find I'm often messing about in Calibre and think "Ooh, I want to read that one next." I could as well use a folder as a device at home, but this way suits me fine - I like that Calibre offers multiple ways to do things, and I can pick what suits me best.
