Is it possible to have more than one computer associated with an account and be able to have separate folders?
The whole point of Dropbox is to have multiple computers 🙂

However, if you mean a separate folder structure for each machine? No. The idea is it is shared across all.Â
Thanks, Mark. I thought that might be the case but I wanted to see if I could add a new structure.

The only way to do that on a single account would be to utilize Selective Sync. You would either select the specific folders that you want to sync to each device, or you could first create a separate folder for each device and use Selective Sync to remove those folders from the other devices.
The latter option is easier to manage. Let's say you have three computers; A, B and C. You create three folders; FolderA, FolderB and FolderC. You use Selective Sync to remove FolderB and C from computer A, you remove FolderA and C from computer B, and you remove FolderA and B from computer C. Then you only ever store your files in either FolderA, B or C, depending on the computer you're using.
Doing it that way means you only needed to un-sync two folders from each computer. If you just store everything in the root of your Dropbox instead of creating a folder for each device, you'll constantly be going in to Select Sync to remove content from the other computers.
