Rich - if you do try IFTTT let us know how it works. More options in the
toolbox is usually not a bad thing.

I've used MMAIL and Send to Dropbox to do some one off sending of
files before. Always worked fine for me.

Sending an e-mail is indeed very easy. Just be aware that, depending on
what you're using to send your e-mail to Dropbox, you might not be able
to send your file to an arbitrary folder.
For example, Kevin mentioned "Send to Dropbox" which I think means
https://sendtodropbox.com/
Looks very nice, looks very easy to use. But you apparently can't dump
your file into a shareable area. See "Can I share my Attachments
folder?" in the FAQ:
https://sendtodropbox.com/faq
A lot of folks are apparently using IFTTT ("If This Then That") to hook
up e-mail to Dropbox. Seems like it may be more flexible, but I haven't
used it myself.
