That has to be your choice, depending on the dropbox space you have

From John's description, Carbonite sounds very similar to Dropbox in
the way it works to synchronise when the device/computer is online.
If you only have the free space at Dropbox, you're going to be limited

This is not a question for Legacy, but a question for the other vendors.
