    Hey from me as well, gd1235.

    If you don't already have an account to use, I would suggest creating one and then getting your client to invite you to the shared folder, using the email address you used to create the account.

    I hope this helps!

Hi roga, 

Thank you we have made the decision to upgrade but now as we are an accounting firm we will do it under our main email account - if we need to have this feature with this client ( ie. able to sync to his dropbox, how would it work? do we create the account under the main email address, then upgrade and then get the client to invite us? OR do we get the client to invite us THEN we create the account and upgrade? thank you :)
