Thoughts on current installation and upcoming upgrades

We have a Business Standard account with Dropbox.  We're about to replace our 3 aging Macs, and add one MacBook Pro, so I want to make sure our installations are correct.  Here's what we have current...

    Sorry to jump in here CNPHS-Chris!

     

    Two users means two separate installations, and Dropbox folders on each user profile. 

     

    I hope this clarifies!

If the MacBook Pro laptop has two "users", two separate log-ins, is one installation for one of the users available to the other user as well, or is it an either/or thing?  Since we're talking 640 gigs out of a new 2-TB drive, I'd rather not have to install it twice (1280 gigs!).  Just curious.

    Thanks Megan,

    As I suspected, it would be two installations.  Because of the size (640g) I'll keep it to one since I have it on my other single user Macs.
