Yes, this is certainly possible. In the official Dropbox iOS SDKs, for example, you can use the linkFromController method to link as many accounts as you want, and it will store the access tokens for you in the keychain, identified using the relevant user IDs. You can then retrieve the account again later when you need it.

If you're not using one of the SDKs, the idea is the same, but you'll need to manage the storage of the multiple access tokens manually.

In the iOS Core SDK, when you have a DBSession with more than one account linked to it, you specify the user ID for the account you want to use when you construct a DBRestClient, using:

- (id)initWithSession:(DBSession *)session userId:(NSString *)userId;

In the deprecated iOS Sync SDK, you use DBFilesystem.initWithAccount: and supply the DBAccount you want to use, which you can get from your DBAccountManager.

Ok yes !
