    <description>&lt;P&gt;Um, I'm just a casual Mac user and a knowledgeable Windows user. But If an app is installed. Shouldn't all users have access to the app (each with their own user profile)? On Windows you only need to install the app once, unless the app has setting to install for one user only. On Mac if you create a new user don't they have access to all installed apps?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;P.S. I just tried it on my MacMini - Ventura. You only need to install Dropbox once. Each Mac user will sign-in to their individual Dropbox account.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>How can two users access their own Dropbox accounts on the same macOS laptop?</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Settings-and-Preferences/How-can-two-users-access-their-own-Dropbox-accounts-on-the-same/m-p/755921#M17544</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I need to set up a Macbook to work with multiple accounts. Two people use the laptop, they have separate admin accounts on the machine.&lt;BR /&gt;Also the two people have 2 indipendent Dropbox Plus accounts. I need each one to be able to use their own dropbox account when loggin in on the laptop.&lt;/P&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;Is this possible? Is this straighforward? Are there any cautionary steps to take? Do each user need to disconnect from his Dropbox account before handing the machine to the other person?&lt;/P&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;These people have 2 separate accounts on MacOs and they don't know each other's password for accessing their user on the laptop&lt;/P&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/730587"&gt;@GnsGnn&lt;/a&gt;, thanks for posting on the Community and I hope you’re doing well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What you describe is only possible if the two people that need to use the laptop have their own user profiles on it, indeed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since they’ll need their own password to access their user profile, their local Dropbox files will be totally safe and inaccessible by the other person. They’ll have to log out of their user profile on the Mac device though each time they're done using the laptop (they can leave their Dropbox account as is, without signing out of the desktop app though).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this clarifies things, but let me know if you need something else.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ok so, I need one more clarification. The second user profile on MacOs needs still to be created. When I will create a new profile for the second user, do I have to install the dropbox app for the new user? Or I will find it there, just logged out, And I can then login with my dropbox account and specify a location for the second dropbox folder?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Since this is a separate user profile, you’ll most likely need to install and set up the Dropbox desktop app anew there. After that, the user can sign in with their Dropbox credentials, as usual.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
