Hi Dropbox team — I’m posting this as both a long-time Dropbox user and a business owner. Today, the Dropbox desktop app only allows seamless use of one Business (Teams) account (plus optionally one Personal account). This creates a major problem for users who legitimately operate across multiple organizations. Real-world use case Many professionals today are involved with multiple companies at the same time, including: Business owners with multiple entities Holding companies with multiple subsidiaries Consultants / advisors supporting multiple clients Board members and fractional executives PE / investment professionals working across portfolio companies In these cases, we often need separate Dropbox Business tenants for security, compliance, and clean separation. The key point I am not asking for a workaround or a discount. I am willing to pay for multiple Dropbox Business subscriptions — but Dropbox currently does not provide a seamless way to run multiple Business accounts in the desktop app. What competitors already support Microsoft OneDrive/SharePoint supports multiple tenants cleanly, for example: OneDrive – Company A OneDrive – Company B Both sync simultaneously and appear natively in File Explorer/Finder. Dropbox currently forces users into clunky workarounds like: Using the browser for the second tenant Switching accounts repeatedly Creating separate OS user profiles Running virtual machines These are not realistic solutions for modern workflows. Why this matters This limitation is not a “nice-to-have.” It is a core enterprise usability issue and increasingly a deciding factor for businesses choosing between Dropbox and Microsoft 365. Dropbox is losing a valuable segment of customers who are willing to purchase multiple accounts — but cannot do so efficiently due to desktop client limitations. Requested solution Please add support for: Multiple Dropbox Business/Teams accounts logged in simultaneously Separate synced folders per tenant Seamless switching and visibility in Finder/File Explorer Clear tenant labeling and separation Even supporting 2+ Business tenants would solve a massive problem for many professionals. Bottom line Dropbox is an excellent product, but this is a fundamental gap. Many of us want to keep using Dropbox and expand our usage across multiple businesses — but we need Dropbox to support the reality of multi-tenant work. Thanks for considering this — I would strongly encourage Dropbox to prioritize this feature. Edward Cook Co-Founder, McCarthy Cook & Co.

Dropbox Plan Dropbox Business upgraded to Dropbox Teams Device Dell XPS 16 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 Pro Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 240.4.8609 Question or Issue I had a Dropbox business account that was 6TB. I ran out of room so I upgraded to Dropbox Teams and 15 TB. I just figured that my Dropbox business account would become the Dropbox teams account but it did not. Now I have 2 Dropbox accounts (or at least 2 Dropbox folders) with 2 different names but using the same email address. I only want one account with 15 TB of room. Question: How can I get all my files over to the Dropbox Teams account? Question: At renewal time, does this mean I will be charged for the Dropbox Business account and again for the Dropbox Teams account?59Views0likes2CommentsI cannot disband my team & I'm stuck in a team account

Dropbox Plan Previous Business Admin) Do you have access to the email linked to the account? Yes Are there any devices connected to your Dropbox account? Laptop and Phone are connected Question or Issue I closed my professional DropBox account around a month ago. After the fact, I realized my personal folder was not accessible because it was embedded within my previous professional folder. I tried to access it and was charge for a renewal. I cancelled that. I tried to transfer files and was denied access to that function. What is the cheapest way to reopen my Professional DropBox Account, i.e. for a limited time, like one month? I can't seem to get a phone number or email address to discuss plan options with DropBox sales. Any suggestions?71Views0likes1CommentWill my paid Dropbox Standard for Teams plan work the same as my free trial?

We are an MSP and we've just acquired a client that uses Dropbox a lot. I assumed (and they led to believe) they were using an Enterprise account but they are not Each person (12 ish) has their own separate Dropbox accounts; one of which has been used to share "company" data with the others. There is approx 550Gb of this data What is the best practice to amalgamate these into one "proper" company account with the appropriate users? If there's any Dropbox staff out there we would be happy to engage with you on a consultancy basis to sort this properly Simon99Views0likes3CommentsAdmin roles without tying up license
We are a smaller company that utilizes Dropbox. We have a handful of licenses and need to tie up 2-3 for our IT team to administer the software. Seems silly since these folks aren't sharing any files. Would like to see an option to have the admin roles without requiring licenses.121Views2likes1Comment
