Dear all, I kept digging and found this response from Maria Elena P. in a different thread.  The issue was that I didn't have all the options checked off on Finder>Preferences>Sidebar.  Once I checked them all, I was able to see the second dropbox account and drag and drop it per Robert S. instructions.  Thanks all.

THIS IS THE SOLUTION

Go to Finder, Preferences, Sidebar. Make a checkmark in your username like ´myname´. 

GO BACK to your Finder the folder ´myname` will show, click on it. The DROPBOX folder will appear right there.

After that you have to click and hold that folder and move it to the side bar (Between folders) and you will have the Dropbox folder back again in the Sidebar.

Good luck
