You might have a second thought when you travel to mainland China and find you can't access Dropbox.
I have lived in China for years, and currently use DropBox every day, with no problems, and no VPN required -- unlike many other services that require a VPN to access, such as FaceBook, YouTube, and occasionally even Gmail (depending on the whims of the Great Firewall of China overlords).
Regardless, VPN solves all access problems in China. My Chinese friends also know this, and they laugh at the GFW of China (they call it "fan qiang", meaning "going over the wall")
