- Mobile apps: ability to browse/create super easily from your iPhone or whatever using any app that integrates with Dropbox
- Storage space: though not always written in stone, most git hosts expect code and prefer you keep your media, if its heavy, elsewhere. Users of git-annex, largefile, etc. benefit from this.
- Collaboration: lots of people use Dropbox, not all of them need to use git (or at least, not all the time). See above.
Unfortunately, after reading the readme I see this: "Do not directly interact with Git repositories in your Dropbox folder - always use git-remote-dropbox. If you're using the Dropbox client to sync files, it's a good idea to use selective sync and disable syncing of the folder containing the repository to avoid any unexpected conflicts, just in case." So it's not as rosy as my above points hoped for.
