It's free, automatic, the app is portable and stays out of the way. If you decide to purchase the cloud storage, the local storage is still a good idea. You can recover items from your local backup much faster then the cloud.

I think if you fire up the client, the server stays running, headless, when you quit. So it can serve your clients with folders to backup.
