Carbonite is a backup service that uses their own bunch of servers as I understand it. The information is still on your HD and on their servers for repopulating your HD in case of a disaster.
Dropbox is a service that allows you to have access to your data over multiple devices that is on your HD. Neither of these are what I was considering the "CLOUD" in my definition. The CLOUD by my definition means the data is no longer physically on your computer HD. It resides, and is accessible, from the CLOUD. Maybe my grasp and definition of what the CLOUD is in error! gc ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Jackie King <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Location for LEGACY Multimedia folders Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2012 19:12:15 -0500 I'm confused - isn't Dropbox "cloud"? I run my legacy through "Dropbox" and it works fine. However, I am really considering running it through Google's "Drive" and setting it up as I have through "Dropbox".
