Just a suggestion - since Dropbox worked fine for you why not use both, DB for the Family File and Google Drive for whatever else you use? Unless the Family File is too big.
I have both Dropbox and Skydrive for different purposes and have yet to get close to running out of free space on either! I do use Google Drive for a company database but only access it through the website. I don't have a Google Drive folder on my computer. It's pretty slow and I'm not particularly thrilled with it!
