As for legal complications, Dropbox uses Amazon's S3 service to store files. I honestly don't know if there are problems with entrusting personal information to other companies (both Amazon and Dropbox), but I don't think you can run a business without entrusting others with your information at some point.

Try SugarSync. Much simpler. It also has the under-advertised "WebSync" feature, which lets you open cloud files of any kind as if they were local files (with edits automatically synced up to the cloud). My only complaint is that it's sometimes a bit slow, but this is rarely relevant, since it takes time to drive from work to home and vice-versa!
