Two Personal Dropbox Accounts with different Plans in the same Laptop

[yulianwardhana]

Dear Community Support,
Newby here.

My intent: to have two personal dropbox account:
1st account with basic plan - been using this already and works like a charm. No intent to share.

2nd account will have family plan - files to be shared with fam members.

I just created my 2nd account (different email account) in the same machine. Want to upgrade this 2nd account to be Family Plan.

a) Would this intent meet the objective?
b) Will I see two different dropbox folders in my machine (file explorer)? If need to be re-setting, how? Don't want to loose the 1st account access.

c) Would it be easy to switch between two accounts in a browser? I saw my browser goes to the 2nd account everytime I call dropbox in the browser.

d) one of fam members using IOS. Would this be possible to share files between to operating system?

Hey @yulianwardhana, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

At the moment it's possible to link a personal Dropbox account with a Dropbox Business team account, for both to be accessible using the Dropbox application.

If you want, you can up-vote this relevant idea, to show your support.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Hannah
Thanks for providing the input. My intent is having two personal accounts, and not inteded for having a business account. I may confuse with the dropbox term personal family and business professional, but I believe they have different plans respectively.

So then, the question remains, is it possible to have two personal accounts in the same machine and sync, with one account with personal plan multi-users, and another one just personal basic plan? Or do I have to give up the one with basic?

No. You can link a personal and Business account together so they will both sync, but it's not possible to link multiple personal accounts to the same computer. The only way to sync multiple personal accounts to the same computer would be if each Dropbox account was associated with a different user account on the computer.
