Given that the cheapest Dropbox premium plan is $10/mth, I'm not signing up just for that. Even with the *free* Dropbox account I setup for my Sage, I find myself not using it very often, purely because I don't like having to pre-convert my EPUBs to KEPUBs before uploading it to DropBox or else get an inferior reading experience. I really like Calibre's on-the-fly conversion to KEPUB during transfer that keeps my library free of duplicate copies.
Probably because $10/month with some hassle doesn't look good against free.

This thread outlines a method of sending books to Dropbox making use of Calibre's on-the-fly conversion.

You get a better reading experience with ePub then KePub because RMSDK renders the text better.

OTOH, kepub uses an decent ePub3 renderer which can and does make many books look better.

I simply copied books to Dropbox from my computer when I was playing with using Dropbox. Ditto for Google Drive. I wasn't impressed enough with either to make them my main means of getting ebooks to my Kobo ereaders.
