    Depends on what its for, if its just work backups yeah.

    If its personal stuff not so much. Dropbox has new terms and conditions that basically allow them to go snooping around your files and essentially your computer.

    There are alternatives:
    http://www.box.com/
    http://drive.google.com/
    and others, but again...can you trust Google etc, its all down to how sensitive what you're putting on there is.

    I use Dropbox for work stuff and its great. But I removed any personal photos etc from it. Also its good if the work files are really important to use two different cloud services so you have two backups online.

    If you don't want to store files online and just want to use it to transfer files, then look into this instead http://www.bittorrent.com/sync
