    Hey CPN​, happy Monday! 

    Yes, you can use the same phone number on multiple Dropbox accounts when setting up our 2-factor authentication.

    However, since you're referring to many different accounts, you might want to consider using an authenticator app for more secure results.

    If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
