Dropbox and Carbonite. Could that cause any problems?

I have Carbonite running and just read that that could cause a Dropbox failure. What should I do? I've paused Carbonite, but has any damage been done? If so, how would I know?

    It shouldn't be a problem to leave Carbonite running for a while longer, or it shouldn't be a problem to remove it!!

And, of course, I don't recall where I read this! I didn't realize that I was duplicating my syncs and will be happy not to renew my Carbonite subscription. I'm just wondering whether I should simply remove it from my computer once I'm comfortable with Dropbox.

Hi Judy12159, yes, that shouldn't be a problem.
