Peggy, If you use Dropbox and have files with the same name on both machines then the latest will be used by both machines.
If you really wish to keep them separate, one thing which you may like to consider is only having your Legacy generated back ups in Dropbox. These will, of course be unique because they contain the date and time in their file name. If, however, you wished to be more specific then there is no reason for not putting, say, #1 before the PC file name and #2 before that of the laptop. You will, of course have to use Restore to put them into Legacy, and save with the appropriate. *.fdb file name, overwriting the old version.
