Website: Send to Dropbox

If you are a Dropbox user (and you should be), you probably have wished for the same thing I have wished, which is the ability to be able email files to your Dropbox.  The free service I have found and am currently using is Send to Dropbox.  It creates a unique email address that is linked to your Dropbox.  It is simple and seamless.  You email to your unique address and the document shows up in your new Attachments folder.  Perfect.
