Is there any reason why you wouldn't? You definitely need to back it up somewhere, and with redundant copies.

I do as it is easy to setup for automatic copy.  It is one part of my backup strategy as it is only helpful if my local storage is destroyed.  Accidental deletion, file corruption or virus/malware will quickly get transmitted to my cloud version.  (If you copy to the cloud manually it would prevent this problem).

It is also useful if you want access from outside the home.  I do have my photos copied to the cloud to make sharing easy.

In addition to a copy in the cloud, I use Macrium and keep a physical copy off-site - although the offsite copy is always a bit older.
