    Hi there rgau!
     
    When referring to a personal Dropbox account, this is read as a Basic/Plus/Professional subscription. A Business plan would be read as a work account. 
     
    As the message suggests, currently, connecting two personal (Basic/Plus/Professional) or two work (Business) Dropbox accounts is not available. You can find more info on this here. 
     
    However, you can keep the Dropbox account that you use for personal purposes logged on your desktop app, and login with the other account through the website - or vice versa. 
     
    Hope this helps to some extent! :nerd:

I'll jump in and put my vote behind such a feature. I don't think it's uncommon for a lot of freelancers to work with several companies at the same time, and Dropbox is a prolific tool.

It's a massive hassle to have to unsync accounts, or have to go through safari, everytime I move from one project to another just because they are in seperate business accounts.

Personally I'd like to have one personal and several work accounts all linked together and synced to my computer, but currently I can only have one of each.

I hope this can be bumped to priority :)

 

kind regards
