Hi Dee,
First of all, it depends upon intended use. Do you have just one computer, or do you wish to sync your data to two or more computers? If you have only one computer, your cloud storage is really only for backup. If two or more, you need a product that not only backs up you data, but also syncs multiple computers. Dropbox and Skydrive backup and sync, I believe Carbonite is backup only. Also, be aware that Legacy does not actually work with files in the cloud. You have a local copy of your files on your computer and that’s what Legacy is always using. The cloud copy is continuously updated as you work on Legacy, as well as the local copies of the same file on other computers if set to sync. I have both Dropbox and Skydrive. Both are excellent products for the casual user like me. No experience with Carbonite or the other products. If you already have a Skydrive account, I would just use that.

Larry asked a good question, I'd also like to know, what cloud program do other Legacy users prefer? I'm using Windows 7 only for genealogy; unfortunately am a technodunce. Thanks, Dee in Maryland === Other than cost what is the difference between Carbonite, Dropbox and SkyDrive? I am using MS Office 365 which includes SkyDrive. ==== Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
