Do any of you use Dropbox and Carbonite on the same computer? I had just started using Dropbox about a year ago, then subscribed to Carbonite to back up most of my computer files, there was a problem and Carbonite suggested I stop Dropbox which I did. I have Carbonite set to update My Legacy/Data files, of course being able to sync the files from the desktop to the laptop would be much better. Thanks, Syble
