Using Microsoft´s One Drive alongside with Dropbox?

Hi

Being a quite satisfied user of Dropbox Plus, I just wonder if anybody here happen to also use One Drive as backup and cloud facility? Are there any problems in doing it? 

Regards

    Hi Steffen K.5 

     

    I have both running on my machine here quite happily, however, you need to make sure they are both totally independent of each other. By that I mean not backing up / syncing the same thing or one inside of the other.

    Totally agree with that statement.  Accidentally created quite a mess a few months ago.
