Hello Stu53
Helen from Dropbox here.
So, you would like to access both your Dropbox accounts via the Desktop App / File Explorer on the same Windows device?
You can switch between two linked Dropbox accounts on dropbox.com, the Dropbox desktop app, and the Dropbox mobile app. Learn how to link or unlink Dropbox accounts.
There’s no need to switch between linked accounts in File Explorer (Windows). Once you link them and log into both in the app, both Dropbox account folders can be opened from wherever you store them in File Explorer.
However, here’s the bad news! 😞 Dropbox Basic accounts can’t be linked with each other. If you’re on Dropbox Basic, Plus, Family, Professional, or Essentials, you can only link your account with a Dropbox Standard, Advanced, Business, Business Plus, or Enterprise account, or vice versa.
Perhaps, you could share a folder from one account to the other, if you have the space.
I hope this information helps.
Best regards,
Helen
