There are a number of ways I use my Dropbox with OS X apps, or iOS devices.
Some of them include:
- Recipe tracking: I keep a 'recipes' folder inside Together's dropbox-synced-library, so from my Mac I can drag recipe web pages to the folder keeping them as PDF's, and view them on my iPad while I cook. It also works with text-recipes I've created inside Together.
- iCal sync: I have The Hit List synced with iCal and keep its library to Dropbox, so iCal's library is being synced to all computers, along with all other apps relying on it (Alarms app)
- PDF to iBooks: The easiest way to send a PDF to your iBooks..
I can't wait to read about yours clever/unique/nifty ways you're using Dropbox on your Mac / iOS devices.

Manage Torrent Downloads
I have my BitTorrent client (Transmission) set up to watch a shared Dropbox directory for incoming .torrent files, so I can start a new torrent download from anywhere I happen to be. (GoodReader for iOS has some great file management capabilities, including uploading to Dropbox.)
