Using either works. I like Dropbox because it is 'just a local drive' that is
auto-duplicated offsite and/or to other machines.
The copy is just done asynchronously to your other activities.
Google does take a bit more effort, so unless you have a financial or other
reason, I would go for the Dro

Simple is always good--particularly for backups. I have a friend who was
recently restoring from some cloud provider, and part of what he was
restoring were some sort of VM files and guess what, they treated them
different from every other kind of file and didn't give as many restore
options. (
I apologize I had on my list to send you this information since the
Installfest and failed to do so. I'll post it here to share with the
larger audience.
I found the very cheapest storage of backup files you will hopefully
never need turns out to be Google Cloud Platform. Right now I'm only

I use linode.com. It's $5/month for a full-blown Linux VM with root
access, your choice of distro, and 25GB of disk, and you can add
