You can even use Gnome apps in KDE and vice versa. Or use a totally
different desktop, KDE and Gnome are not the only two choices.

For example, I use OpenBox, but I use K3B (KDE app) for burning DVDs, and
Rhythmbox (Gnome app) for playing music.

It's true that Dropbox relies on Nautilus (Gnome file manager) but it is
possible to make it work without. I use Openbox desktop with the PCman
File Manager (pcmanfm), and Dropbox. If you understand Dutch, you can read
all about it on my blog: http://amedee.be/dropbox-zonder-nautilus
