I want to set up a new account for the board with a generic username [Removed as per Community Guidelines] with one person being admin and the other being able to log in with read access. 

 

I already have a "personal" account [Removed as per Community Guidelines] where I have granted rights to read and/or wright in a "sub-folder" for certain personal friends.

 

So in essence I need a second "license" that will co-exit with my personal one. 

 

Make sense?

What you're looking for isn't currently available with Dropbox. Additionally, you can't have an admin of an account and another user to only have read-only access. 

 

Sharing an account would be a violation of the terms of service, and can result in your account being terminated.
