dropbox counts the data once for each person you share with.

6 gb in my account.

I share it with you it now counts as 6 gb against your account and 6 gb against mine.

I share it with kach it now counts as 6 gb against his account and 6 gb against your account and 6 gb against mine.

Whether physical or just a matter of accounting the original 6 gb now represents 18 gb to the 3 of us.



With copy.com

6 gb in my account.

I share it with you it now counts as 3 gb against your account and 3 gb against mine.

I share it with kach it now counts as 2 gb against his account and 2 gb against your account and 2 gb against mine.

Whether physical or just a matter of accounting the original 6 gb still represents only 6 gb to the 3 of us.



dropbox counts the full amount of shared data against each account participating in a share

copy divides the full amount of shared data amongst each account participating in a share
