I guess it depends on your need. When working with websites that don't have built in FTP, I love using this as it saves me a step. Dropbox nor wuala solve this problem. The best use (for me) for this is when you work from things in a variety of locations from tools that don't support those locations. Also, if you don't *want* to use some service to store your things in the cloud, this really helps. You can set up your own cloud and not be dependent on others.

If you're planning on using WebDrive to do file synchronization with a remote server, I can no longer recommend it.
For reasons completely unfathomable to me, last week WebDrive decided that it would redownload EVERY file EVERY time it connects, rendering it completely unusable as a file synchronization tool. Your mileage may very but the app went from essential to useless for me overnight.

Is this something to do with DST that changed last weekend in the Northern America's?
