Is it possible to, say, email files via attachment to your Dropbox account? As opposed to manually placing the file on the Dropbox folder on your computer?

At present (February 2011) this isn't possible to do using Dropbox. It is on the wish list though.

An alternative service is available called SendToDropBox if you are happy to use a third party.

If you're open to using a third-party service, you can use If This Then That. There are a number of ways to do that, either by sending email to IFTTT's mailbox ([email protected]) or to your own as a trigger, and then uploading the file to your Dropbox.

I used the email channel to set a trigger where if I send an email message from my registered address to IFTTT's mailbox with #dropbox in the subject, that'll use the Dropbox "add file from URL" action to save a file to the IFTTT/email directory in my Dropbox and the rest of the subject as the filename.

(Here's a public recipe that essentially does the same thing.)
