Hence the reason why I also backup locally. If the service goes away, I won't lose data. I'll know when they go away and I can change things at that point. I run the software 24/7 so it won't be a surprise.
I could probably setup my own online backup somewhere, but I just don't want to manage it - the wasted time on that far outweighs the convenience I've got now.
As for privacy, it's encrypted. Won't stop the NSA, et al, but it's good enough for most purposes.
