Multiple Dropbox & Google Drive accounts in Finder — is there a simple way?
I have personal and work accounts for both Dropbox and Google Drive and want to see them as folders in Finder without running separate desktop apps or syncing everything to my Mac; I don’t really kno...

Hey,
Just to clarify — my second account is a regular personal account, not a business account, so the standard Dropbox app doesn’t support connecting two accounts simultaneously in Finder. I tried CloudMounter, and it worked for connecting multiple accounts. Sorry for the late update.
Thanks for the suggestion

Think of each cloud account as its own mounted drive in Finder — set things to online‑only so your disk doesn’t fill up, and keep personal and work logins separate so stuff doesn’t get mixed. Do a quick test first (1–2 GB, a few dozen files) to check drag‑and‑drop, opening and deleting behave the way you expect.
Two things to watch: APIs can throttle you if you shove thousands of tiny files at once, and mounts sometimes drop after sleep, so test waking the Mac and a reconnect. Also, moving files between accounts can lose share links or version history, so back up anything important and do the big move in chunks rather than all at once.
