    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.
