When you'd hear it
This is common in customer service, workplaces, and other polite interactions, especially when offering to do something for a customer, guest, or senior person. It sounds courteous and is also frequent in service-oriented speech such as 에어컨을 켜 드릴까요?
What learners get wrong
드리다 is the humble counterpart of 주다 when the recipient deserves respect; it is not just a general replacement for 주다. Use 주다 with friends and 드리다 toward customers, seniors, or other respected recipients.
