I usually download the photos on my macbook, work on them, then export them using a USB to free up storage on my laptop. Is there a way to do this with "dropbox" using the finder?

For those reasons, I'd say this is an Online Backup solution... You have file A on your laptop. You sync it to DropBox so they have it. Then you install Dropbox on your work desktop and sync file A down to your desktop. You work on it. Periodically Dropbox syncs the file with their copy. You go home. Your laptop is online and POOF... file A is updated and backed up on the Dropbox servers. I'd call this Online Backup and synchronization goodness.
