I use Dropbox w/ some added bonus storage for what little stuff I use cloud storage for. I also got a free 50GB Box account a while back, but I haven't used it for anything but to make sure it's there.

The chances that both my house burn down (or both the HDDs of the NAS crash at the same time) and the cloud service closing down without notice is so small, I'll take the risk.

It's worth reminding folks that the NAS gives you High Availability, NOT a proper backup, in and of itself.
If, say, you accidentally delete a file, or you corrupt your Calibre database on your NAS, it's gone, corrupted across all the drives, and you have no backup.
Same goes for most cloud storage as commonly used, of course. But it's still good to have important files in at least two places that aren't instantly 2-way synced with each other.
