Save Your Photos to Dropbox --- Why?

Question

Save Your Photos to Dropbox --- Why?

Since recent updates to iTunes and iPhoto software, every time I plug in my phone to sync up via iTunes, I get the message below. Can't understand why I'd want to save my photos to Dropbox, and it's not clear to me what it's inviting me to import to where. Import to my phone from dropbox, to dropbox from my Mac? Does it think I want all my photos on dropbox? I've got 30 GB of them and they're offering 3 GB space, so that's not plausible. Does this do something for me that's not already happening with iCloud? I don't get it.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

That is a new Dropbox feature. It is not related to iTunes or iPhoto. If you want, you can have Dropbox automatically upload all of the photos on your iPhone whenever you connect your iPhone to your computer. Personally, I use it for backup purposes. If you aren't interested, click the "Never for This Device" button.

See this information from DropBox:
