I’ve noticed I keep being given free space extensions in Dropbox. I’ve just realised all my photos are being uploaded there. That means I’m uploading to both Google+ and Dropbox, using wifi only.
I don’t mind this as long as Dropbox keeps extending the space. I’m not aware they provide unlimited storage aka G+ but hey. I did find a real use for Dropbox recently when my S3 battery stopped charging. The USB port was only intermittently visible & I couldn’t move files across the the laptop. I shifted some “important” stuff into Dropbox before the battery finally went and I now still have those files. I also used Google Drive.
It probably doesn’t make sense to use both but for the moment it’s easy enough to do and I haven’t hit any problems.
That’s all…

Regarding the USB get-a-round to access your data…
I can highly recommend MyPhoneExplorer with your Android! (free)

I access my phone though this wirelessly (syncing photos, writing texts, updating contacts, etc.) so this would also have let you save your important files without going round the interweb to bypass the failed USB 🙂
Airdroid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid) does it all through a browser. I find it quite handy.
