What happens if I join a Dropbox team with my account that has an Essentials subscription?

I have a dropbox essentials plan. My company has a dropbox business plan and wants to add my account to it. Is this possible? If yes, what will change?

    Hey Annelien, if you go to your Dropbox preferences, what do you see in the account tab?

     

    Do you not see an option to link your second account?

Thanks for the information!

I kept both accounts separated, but can't seem to sync both accounts to the desktop app. How can I fix this?

Did you link the accounts?

    Yes I did. But I can only switch between the accounts on the web, not in the desktop app.

        Thank you! I tought there were only preferences in the web version. Now I've found the preferences in the desktop app!
