    No. You can link a personal and Business account together so they will both sync, but it's not possible to link multiple personal accounts to the same computer. The only way to sync multiple personal accounts to the same computer would be if each Dropbox account was associated with a different user account on the computer.

Yes they would. 

 

You'd have 2 Dropbox folders on your machine and both would work like they currently do. So one would be something like "Ted Walker (Personal)" and the other in your company name.
