Issues with adding a second account to my desktop

I installed the Dropbox app on a new laptop and logged into my business account, which now shows up in file explorer.  I stopped midstream and planned to go back later to add my personal account, but now when I try to open the Dropbox app, the only thing that opens is file explorer with my business account.  Is there a way to go back and add my personal account, or do I need to delete Dropbox from my system and start over?

    Okay, none of these would open the app itself. This article should show you where to click.

    Thanks so much!  The icon was hidden so I had to go find it.  I signed in under preferences and now I can access my personal Dropbox via file explorer.  Many thanks.
