Does the desktop app support the adding of multiple Business or Personal accounts?

Regarding How to find the Dropbox folder on a computer - Dropbox Help

Does the Dropbox Desktop App support the adding of multiple "Business" or "Personal" accounts? If so, in the info.json file how does the file differentiate between the multiple accounts of the same type?

For example, my current setup of 1 business and 1 personal account on this computer has  the following layout in the JSON.  If I add a second business or personal account to this computer how will the JSON file change to include the infromation 

{ "business": { "path": "C:\\Users\\adid\\Org Dropbox\\My Name", "host": 99999999923, "is_team": true, "subscription_type": "Business", "root_path": "C:\\Users\\adid\\Org Dropbox" }, "personal": { "path": "C:\\Users\\adid\\Dropbox (Personal)", "host": 99999999987, "is_team": false, "subscription_type": "Basic" } }

    Walter​ perfect! 

    So am I understanding correctly that there can only be one Business and one Personal account set up. There cannot be two Business (with no Personal) accounts or Two Personal (with no Business) accounts?
