Yeh, that's incredibly useful; not only is it a backup, also handily addresses the "oh, darn, that's on the other computer" issue when you're out and about. Browse/access from your phone/tablet too.
Also worth considering Backblaze; Personal backups $50 per year per machine; unlimited backup and file size/types - no limit on external drives either.
But these are actual backups (last I looked, you don't get file versioning with DropBox until you spring for Business class - and there was a minimum of 5 users for that).
Backblaze are also pushing the envelope on storage pods using commodity hardware, and publishing stats on which of the drives they buy die (they just buy whatever they can get quantity of at the largest sizes/best prices at any given time) and at what rates - pretty cool.
