The Dropbox Desktop App works with three other programs that I use - TxDocs, ScanSnap Home, and MyCase. The web app does not work with any of them. This is a problem. Also, it would be nice if Dropbox Professional worked with those three programs and if I could use and pay for the HelloSign unlimited signatures add on to my DropBox package. But without the Desktop App or at least its capabilities and interface with the other programs, I really don't need Dropbox.
Second Question: Can I have two DropBox packages at the same time. I need Professional and either the Personal or the Family package, especially if one package works with the HelloSign addon and my other programs and another does not.

Hey JohnRBusterBrown, sorry for the late response here. Are you still having issues?
When it comes to your second concern, note that connecting accounts is available to Dropbox users on one of our Business plans.
Basic, Plus, Family, and Professional accounts on the other hand can't be linked with each other. Also, Dropbox Business accounts can't be linked with other Dropbox Business accounts.
