There's no hard and fast rule. If you make regular clones of your Mac's HD, then storing things in the documents folder would be fine and would probably preclude the need for drop box. Personally, I put everything in DB and use it to share between OSX and Windows7 VM. I also use a homegrown automated system of making daily snapshots of my working folders (anything which is currently in a state of development), and migrate the latest snapshot to the dropbox at the end of the week. I do this because once its in DB, its the final copy, and if you screw up and put a flawed document into dropbox, it becomes the new master copy - there's no way to get back to the unflawed version. daily Snapshots gives me a week to catch any screwups and correct them before they become written in stone (dropbox). That's a lot of work, and you would be fine without all that as long as you're real careful about what you put in the DB folder. It's like the vault, and whatever you put in there, well, that's what you'll get back when you need it. if you put crap in, you'll get crap out.
