Are these both personal accounts? If so, that's not possible. Dropbox will only sync one personal account to your computer.

If one account is personal and the other is a paid Business team account, you can link the accounts so they both sync to the computer, and both would have their own Selective Sync settings.

You cannot link two personal accounts or two Business accounts.
