I keep lots of installers in my Dropbox. Some of them probably have newer versions, but I haven't bothered to hunt those down. A couple were bought years ago and I've no idea whether they even exist anymore. That said, I don't hang onto installers of every program I use. For example, Firefox, Chrome, LibreOffice and a couple of others I install fresh from the oven every time I get a new laptop or tablet. And as the Calibre website has all old versions available, there's no need for me to save old Calibre installers.
