One thing have learned about Dropbox is that it sometimes doesn’t upload files correctly. Not being very computer savvy, the best I understand is that certain programs use their “own” file format which Dropbox can’t read correctly (an example: Mariner’s Paperless). Backing up a zipped version is OK, but that has to be done manually.

Get a usb hdd and back it up, and use a cloud service (like Dropbox) to do a backup of the backup for the really important things. Saves you a pain bringing your pc back to normal.
