Box Storage Amount vs. CloudAlly Storage Amount

Why is there a discrepancy between the amount of storage reported by Box and the amount reported by CloudAlly?
CloudAlly is a backup service, so we only take the latest changed version of a file, in backing up Box.com. This means that there is only one automatic backup a day. Although Box supports file versioning, CloudAlly only takes the latest version each day. This is to prevent storage requirements increasingly sharply.
 
Therefore, you will often see a discrepancy between the amount of storage Box reports and the amount that CloudAlly reports. Depending on how many versions are kept and how large the files are, the difference in storage size can be large.
