No, not a new computer. I use the same laptop for both clients. Let me try again. 

I already have joined a previous Dropbox account with another client (company). 

I now have a different client (company) who added me to their Dropbox account.

I can login online to both accounts and see everything on the website, but my desktop app is logged into the previous account.

When I joined the new account, it linked some of (but not all) the previous files to the new account, and I can see the previous files when I log into the new account on the website. 

But I can't see the new files when I log into the previous account on the website or on my desktop app.

I need this to be switched. I need to see the new files on the desktop app without having to go to the website.
