Suppose you got 50GB of online space free for one year and that too with syncing on your PC.

So what do you do with that much space, i mean with a crappy plan of 256kbps.

Try to boast to your e-illeterate friends that you have bought disk-space in some Dallas or Texas server to backup all your important data.

Look at the brighter side of things.

I host my svn and git repositories on it. And also any screenshots I take. Link your ~/Desktop folder to ~/Dropbox, you'll soon be filling it up. ;)
