Storing your images up in the cloud isn't necessarily a bad thing. I would not put them on a photo site however and I wouldn't rely on putting them just in the cloud. Dual back local storage and a drive stored off-site seems about right to me. I have two Drobos for storage. I have started to put high-value archival images up in the cloud, but I don't put them on a photo site. They go up encrypted and they come down the same way. It seems to work reasonably well.
