Getting an error when trying to link a second account on my computer
I have 2 different accounts.
On my Pc I'm signed in one of them and im trying to link the second as well.
I went to preferences and tryed to link another account but it is giving me an error each time.
I'm sure the other account is just on 2 other divices so i don't know what is the problem.
Thanks in advance
Jason

You're trying to use two Dropbox accounts on one computer? Is one of those accounts a Business (Standard/Advanced/Enterprise) account and have you linked it to your personal account?
Only one Business and one personal account can be linked. It's not possible to link two personal accounts or two business accounts.

I guess thats the issue then since both are personal.
but still even if i sign out I cant sign in with my other account?
thanks for your reply but i guess since both are personal that is the issue
The strange issue is even if i log out and go to log in again it those not give me the option to log in with the other account. It logs automaticaly

Are you referring to the Dropbox desktop app or the website Jason Farrugia?

Make sure you've signed out of the Dropbox website as well. The Dropbox application uses the website to authenticate you. If you're already signed in to the website, the app will sign in automatically.
Ok Thanks I think I managed
