I need multiple drop box teams for different customers. It is not practical for everyone to create multiple e-mail addresses for each dropbox. Is there a solution for one person to be on different teams without having multiple e-mail addresses?

Server_Align: Thank you for your post. So, if I read it right, 1. We would create a second Windows User Account on each PC and add the Dropbox Company2 Account to this, 2. There would never actually be any need to log into this second Windows User Account as the files from both Dropbox Company1 and Company2 Accounts will be auto-synced in the C:\DB\ folder? Thanks!

Into folders in the C:\DB folder.

And that of course was just my exampled location, if you feel confident enough go to the %userprofile% folder of user1, create a "Dropbox (company2)" folder to act as the folder for user2's dropbox, permission it for both users to have access, then setup user2 and point it to the %userprofile% folder of user1

* issue with that might come up with permissions on the %userprofile% folder of user1 so that might need permissioning as well, and kinda hides whats hapepning a bit so Im against that *

 

* "Dropbox (company2)" is what ever the second dropbox account actually names the folder, its been a while since I had a Bussiness account, as we only ever used one of the five accounts anyway and just had it for the >1TB space, now Pro has 3TB.

Hoping for an update on accessing two business accounts on my Mac Desktop.  It's been a little over a year since my last inquiry.  Anything new on that front.  I really don't want to switch from Dropbox.  Thanks!

As more and more entrepreneurs are running multiple businesses, It would be great if you could switch betweecn multiple buisness accounts on all devices.  I have a personal Dropbox account and two different DropBox business accounts.  It would be great to have toggle switch to switch between personal and business accounts and event to be able to select files on phone/ipad etc to upload files to different accounts.

It would be very helpful if possible to link 2 Dropbox Business accounts on one computer

I am an accountant and have multiple clients that I need to access company files.  It is a real nuisance to switch between users on my desktop so that I can access the files for my clients.  Please fix this as soon as possible!!!!

Advice please.

I had a business account I set up almost three years ago when my company was just starting up. I used my business email so it would be congruent to my clients. Since then our company has grown and they have purchased a company business account. I was given access to that account but because my email is still tied to my original account the system is insisting I renew my membership before I can grant access for clients to upload files. Please help me navigate this hurtle. 

I am more than happy to change my original account over to my personal email but I’m afraid if I do it may cause all kinds of other issues with my companies account This issue growing more urgent by the minute as I have clients needing to upload files. Does anyone know how to fix this dueling account issue?
