Is there a way to choose which account a folder shared with me will go to?

I have two accounts, a business account owned by someone else, and a personal account owned by me. When I have a client who shares a Dropbox folder with me, it ALWAYS goes into the business account. ...

Dropbox will auto add it to the account you are signed in to. 

 

The only workaround I can think on this one is to copy the link to an incognito window while logged in to the personal account you wish to use.

Hmmm. That doesn't seem likely, as I almost never log into the Business account. Like 3x a year. But I'll try again. Thanks for the suggestion.
