It's fine to link to the picture, but the beauty of Image hosting sites like Photobucket (previously) and Postimage is that they allow you to embed a link to the image in your forum post and the forum software then displays the photo in the post. You have the option to follow the link if you want. Just posting a link means you have to follow it to look at the picture.
I haven't tried very hard, but I haven't found a way to link to images in Dropbox in a way that they'll display in the forum. Same with Google Photos.
