Is it safe to use Box as only storage device

We are a mac based business with two offices and 3 users. We have had two synced NAS drives, one in each office as our storage devices allowing our iMacs to just run software. Recently one has failed so we are looking to change how we work. After some investigation we are considering Box. Working on shared folders and it seems to work fine as well as offering up to 50 versions of files.

My questions are; Is this a safe way to work? Sharing folders, 'Make available offline' whilst you work then once finished 'Make available online only'. Do Box then offer an additional 'Backup' service, should i partner with another company such as Amazon to backup or any recommendations, or should i get a local storage device to backup Box data or does Box cover this and I need no further backup?

Any advice would be greatfully received.
