Until earlier this year, I operated that way using dropbox as my "hard drive". My laptop is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit and my old desktop was on XP. The desktop crashed earlier this year giving me a great excuse to buy a new toy. Now, the laptop is the same and the desktop is on Windows 7 Home 64-bit.
I routinely move back and forth between the two without issue still using drop box as my "hard drive". If anything, the only issue I see with an external hard drive is that when plugged in, the drive letter it's assigned may not always be the same due to some other device being plugged in that may not always be there (i.e. flash drive, smart phone, etc). This is not really a Legacy issue, just something to be aware of that could cause confusion. Otherwise, you should be fine.
