I understand how the situation can be confusing. Most cautioning against using cloud storage services (DropBox, Google Drive, etc) revolves around storing the actual data file there. Using this services to store backups is fine. You can also save to network storage devises, like a Time Machine, or use a flash drive as suggested by NotACPA. Any method you would use to store another file will work for backups.
If you have additional questions on this please comment below.
