2 accounts in 1 computer. How to?

HelloAliceismyname

Hi,

I work the dropbox app on macbookpro and logged in with the account of the company i work for.

I would also like to have my personal business account in the same mac without connecting the two. Is that possible?

And if so, what is the procedure?

Thank you!

Alice

Yes, @Mark, is correct, one account would need to be a Dropbox Business account, and the second could be either a Professional, Plus or Basic account in order to link them to have two accounts on one computer.

Hi @HelloAliceismyname, thanks for posting today!

Is one account a private personal plan, and the work account a Dropbox Business team account?

This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay,

thanks for your reply.

My company dropbox account is Professional for freelancers, and the one that I would like to have is the Plus for individuals.

Unfortunately its not possible to have both on at the same time then. One account needs to be a paid business one (i.e. a multi sea licence) to link.

Does it mean that if I set up a business one, the two account will be linked in all computer that have the Professional for freelancers logged in or they're actually not "linked" together?

The way it works is that you have two separate accounts under different emails to login to the site. One has to be a Dropbox Business team account, and the other has to be a personal account (either paid or free).

When you link the two accounts using these steps, this will allow you to access both accounts in the Dropbox desktop application, and have two separate Dropbox folders.

Okay, thank you for the help!
