Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you have to have dropbox to actually download something from it, right?
I get your point about making mix cd's and mix tapes. It is pretty awesome going back to some of mine that I've made. It's like getting in a time machine. You can technically still do this by making a playlist and sharing / saving it, but it may not have the same nostalgic effect as a physical CD or tape.
Capacity and speed? Really? How is that easier than creating a playlist or highlighting and album on spotify, and sharing with a friend? I assume you don't have thumb drives full of random music on you at all times...

Those are the two most obvious reasons. I'll use dropbox or spotify if I'm sending something to a friend in Chicago, but it's way easier and faster for me to drag and drop to a thumb drive and physically hand it to a friend. Flash drives don't expire, either.

i think you can just email a link to the dropbox folder and anybody can open it.

I also don't run around actively sharing music all the time. I'm not so narcissistic that I believe everyone I know on Spotify is sitting there waiting for me to post my next suggestion. However, I know a lot of people from a lot of music channels and they sometimes ask about specific artists that I've mentioned in conversation. I can then go home, grab 5 albums from that artist and paste at once to a flash drive. It won't take 5 hours for the file to upload and they won't have to dick around with downloads. I can just hand them the flash drive the next time I see them.
Also, not all music that I have on my hard drive is on Spotify.
