Dropbox is like having a mirror. That doesn't protect you from doing something stupid with your database. it only protects you from a hardware failure.
You have to make a separate backup before any significant change in medatada, such as deleting large number of unwanted things or large search and replace.
You should also make a backup (not mirror and not live dropbox copy) every time you finish making significant change that would take many hours to recreate.
