Is it better to keep PDF documents on Onedrive/Cloud or to convert them into Logos personal books?

I've recently found out the joy of using personal books and been converting PDF documents into personal books so I can annotate/highlight them. I do that for long Systematic Theological PDFs and short PDFs like 1 page recommended book lists. However, I've realised that they are only available on 1 device and I am concerned it may not be saved to the cloud etc. My old way was to keep them in folders on OneDrive cloud storage and annotate/highlight the PDF directly. However, that doesn't integrate it with my Logos.

What is the best way to save documents/pds/word? Should I keep them on the Windows system or upload them into Logos?
Will saving into Logos personal books reach a bottleneck once I stop using this PC or lose the PC?
Is there a way to save Logos personal books into the cloud or external hard drive so I can access them on another PC if my current PC one comes to an end?

If you go back to Personal books you can select a book to edit and then upload it (see below). This will put it on all your logos devices minus mobile.

You can Upload as stated above but you can also copy the compiled files (*.lbspbb) from your \Resources folder and scan (a command) them into another desktop installation.
But it is important to keep the source documents on OneDrive (.pdf and .docx), so you can always compile them on another device.

PDFs cannot be directly converted to personal books, so the question is hard to understand.

I keep word files on Dropbox so I can access them from either of my Logos installations.

Thank you all for the replies. It's helpful to learn it can be uploaded onto a Logos cloud. I convert PDFs to word and then make a PB.

Do you think my resulting PB system would be messy, e.g. If I have over 600 personal books over many years? Some would be for simple documents etc.
