Switching between two accounts

I have both a personal and an account I use for business (neither is a DropBox "Business" account).  I can have both open in my Firefox browser on my Mac by using containers.  But the menu icon shows only one account at a time (currently my personal although I could probably get it to show the other). 

In OneDrive, which as a long-time DB user I hate to use, I can have two menu bar icons for two separate accounts so I can easily pick the account I want.

Is there a way to simplify the Dropbox interface to more easily allow access to both accounts from the menu bar icon?

Thanks

    No. You can only have two accounts syncing to your computer if one is a Business account and the other is a personal account, and you have linked the accounts.
