Using either works. I like Dropbox because it is 'just a local drive' that is auto-duplicated offsite and/or to other machines. The copy is just done asynchronously to your other activities.
Google does take a bit more effort, so unless you have a financial or other reason, I would go for the Dropbox solution. Nothing against Google, just the tool I would select for this job.
