How can I sync the same Dropbox account to both Windows and Mac?

 

Greetings,
I have an account on Dropbox, I have a PC on which I have the desktop app and a synchronized folder.
Now I also have a Mac and would like to work on the same folder, how should I proceed?.
I also need to download the desktop app on my Mac, I read about how to merge two accounts but here there is only one account.

Thanks to those who give me a hand...

    Just install the Dropbox application and sign in with the same account that you used on the PC. Your files will sync between both computers.
