I do. It is handy to be able to toss files up onto a website and link to that, if they're too big to go through email. I've used it for images I've made, large PDFs I've created, applications I've coded (which most email services now prevent emailing of executables), game mods I've done, etc. All legal content. Just because it can be used for piracy, or even if it mostly is, doesn't make it a bad thing. It still has legitimate uses.
