How to manage multiple Dropbox accounts on the same computer?
I am having no end of trouble trying to figure out the best way to coordinate between different email addresses. I have clients who add me to their dropbox using my current work email, that is not connecting to my personal login. I know of the "link" option, but when I go to it in my settings I get a 404 error. Then, I have a third dropbox connected with my former work--the employer removed all sensitive files but I still need to have access to items that other people shared with me via that email address, and I am authorized to access the account. I use dropbox for everything and had migrated my desktop to the cloud, but now when I changed jobs everything is broken. Is there any way to not have to be constantly logging in and out of multiple accounts--especially when I have it set to auto-sync my desktop with all current-working files, it gets very confused when I have to switch accounts.

I want to have multiple accounts on my PC to allow for different i-Tunes libraries but allow dropbox to sync the same location on the drive. Is this possible? Ex: c:\dropbox is synced via the same dropbox account for both windows accounts. This came up as an issue because it seems like the dropbox app installs to the user profile instead of globally to the machine. I don't want to corrupt my files by syncing from the same machine twice. Is there any issue with what I'm suggesting? User1 and User2's windows profiles both point to c:\dropbox and use the same user@dropbox to sync them?Solved21KViews0likes8Comments
No option for "make online only" when I right click my files
I have a professional DropBox account and I'm working on a Mac, OS 12.5. I have several files that are sync'd locally that I would like to move off my hard drive and make online only. When I right-click on the folders, however, I'm not getting the option from the drop-down menu to make the files online only. Any suggestions? Thank you!Solved12KViews2likes56Comments
I've looked everywhere online for my selective sync settings, but I can't find them.
I have looked everywhere on my Dropbox.com account and cannot find sync anywhere. I have found preferences and there is nothing about sync there. I have a colleagues whose screen shows sync under this menu. I have been on Dropbox since 2008. I upgraded the desktop app but don't know if or how I can update the desktop application. Any suggestions? Could she possibly have a paid version if she has selective sync -- but even with the free version I should have sync shouldn't I so I can remove files I don't want to sync Her message: Across the menu bar at the top you should see a drop box icon. Click on it. [Note: this only opens my dropbox - I need to click my personal icon and then I get setting and preferences] Then you’ll see an option called settings or preferences. Click on it and you’ll see an option that says sync. [Note: I don't see sync option anywhere here] Click on that and look for an option that says ‘selective sync’ Here you can click only the folders you want.Solved8.6KViews0likes7CommentsDropbox wants to learn more about your experience with notifications

What happens when you unlink a device?
When unlinking devices, weather it be phone or Mac, does it just inform the app its no longer assosiated with your Drobox account, or does it also remove it from the 'Linked Devices' section on the website in related to yor account ?Solved6.7KViews0likes9Comments
