How to use more than one Dropbox account on a single computer?
Quick question — is it possible to run two Dropbox accounts on the same computer without constantly signing out or making separate user accounts? I’m not super technical, just want personal + work av...
I wanted the same thing once — personal + work Dropbox on one Mac without signing in/out all day. Short version: the easiest routes are using the desktop client for one account and the web for the other, or creating a second OS user/VM so each account has its own Dropbox instance. Another simple trick is separate browser profiles (Chrome/Firefox profiles) for quick web access to multiple accounts without touching the desktop app.
A few extra tips I picked up: use Smart Sync/selective sync so only the folders you need sit locally, move your Dropbox folder to an external drive if space is tight, and test any big moves with a small folder first so you don’t accidentally lose share links or history. If you want everything to appear like drives in Finder/Explorer, some people try cloud‑mount tools (CloudMounter gets mentioned a lot), but no matter the method check where cache and logs go, keep credentials in the system keychain, and do a dry run before any mass transfer.
