rsync ... to where? You need to rent a server first. And to do that you need a credit card. And if you die, said credit card gets canceled, as is your server, as is all your data. Happened to me with a paid Dropbox account - card expired, all data lost. A free Dropbox account has an advantage that it is good for eternity (well, not a guarantee, but a reasonable assumption). Also good for privacy. I do rsync too (robocopy, to be exact), and I prepaid the server for 2 years, but still, dropbox plays an important role in ensuring longevity of my data.
