It's actually current, not future. And I agree it's reliable. For me though, important files need to be saved in 2 places. In the olden days that meant 2 discs/hard drives. Now I'm happy with the cloud and 1 disc. This is for really important stuff only. Less important stuff can live on the cloud. It is more reliable than a heavily used personal disc but you have to remember that the cloud is not actually a heavenly body. It exists because there are people who own servers that host the files that live up there. Those people may die and their servers too.
Anyway, on topic, I feel that google docs is perfectly fine and I trust it as a cloud service. On the other hand, I keep personal backups of files that are too important to lose.
