Additionally, a government run dropbox isn't very reassuring. This would the equivalent of the NSA hosting backups of all your data (which they probably do - but still).

This looks like not as Dropbox. A service for storing govt "issued" digital documents.

How does this work for NRIs? How do I get Aadhaar number?

I don't know how you can get one but you shouldn't get it. Do you really want to give all your fingerprints and retina scans to the government when you know how it can be misused in a country like India which is a police state? I bet there is no oversight in getting access to your information and there are tons of ways in which your information can be misused/exploited.
