This is true of Dropbox too. It's completely safe as a backup but it can muck things up if you're using it live and don't remember to pause syncing while working. After the mumblemumble time I forgot I finally switched to a portable drive and use Dropbox for backups.

This was still true as of early spring when I setup my mother with a free account. I didn't bother going through all the offers because she doesn't need that much space but it is easy to increase your allotment with them before you need to go to a paid account.
