Yes — but how depends on what you need. The Dropbox desktop client lets you link one personal and one business account at the same time; if you only have two personal accounts the usual tricks are: keep one in the desktop app and open the other in the web browser, use a separate OS user profile for the second account, or mount the extra account with a cloud‑mounting tool (or rclone) if you want it to appear like a drive. Make heavy use of online‑only/Smart Sync or selective sync so you don’t fill your disk, test with a small folder first to check permissions and behavior, and don’t move big shared folders in one go — copy a couple of important ones and confirm shares/version history before doing the full transfer.
