Running two accounts in one desktop app

Good morning, I have two clients who share files with me through Dropbox.

I am wondering if it's possible to have the two accounts together on one desktop app, being still independent from each other.

I am not sure if "linking two accounts" is what I am looking for as none of my clients should have access to the other account.

Is this possible?

 

Thank you very much.

    Linking two account doesn't give one account holder access to the other account. It's just a means of being able to sync two accounts to one computer.

     

    You can link accounts and have them both appear on your computer if one account is a Business account and the other is a personal account (Basic, Plus, Family or Professional). You cannot link two Business accounts or two personal accounts.
