The way copy.com allocates storage vs dropbox is more equitable.
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
