Can I connect two business Dropbox accounts?
I have my own "Personal" Paid Business Dropbox account that I have synced to all my devices. This is a Personal Dropbox account but I pay the annual fee for a Business account as I enjoy the addition...
- 7 years agoHi there rgau!When referring to a personal Dropbox account, this is read as a Basic/Plus/Professional subscription. A Business plan would be read as a work account.As the message suggests, currently, connecting two personal (Basic/Plus/Professional) or two work (Business) Dropbox accounts is not available. You can find more info on this here.However, you can keep the Dropbox account that you use for personal purposes logged on your desktop app, and login with the other account through the website - or vice versa.Hope this helps to some extent! :nerd:

When will connecting 2 business accounts be available?
This will be a really usable feature - using web for one and desktop app for the other as a temporary work around is too rudimentary for those of us who work on multiple branches or our small businesses.
- Lusil6 years agoDropbox StaffThanks for sharing your thoughts on this, MLFung!The dev team is working on implementing additional improvements, but we don’t have a timeline to share about this yet.In any case, I’ve added your comments and passed them along to the team. If you have any other thoughts, do let us know. Cheers!

I'll jump in and put my vote behind such a feature. I don't think it's uncommon for a lot of freelancers to work with several companies at the same time, and Dropbox is a prolific tool.
It's a massive hassle to have to unsync accounts, or have to go through safari, everytime I move from one project to another just because they are in seperate business accounts.
Personally I'd like to have one personal and several work accounts all linked together and synced to my computer, but currently I can only have one of each.
I hope this can be bumped to priority :)
kind regards

I'm using a VA who works for more than company with business dropbox and has her own personal dropbox. It's definitely a massive shame that she cannot set this up in a simple fashion without me worrying about my data. Surely this has to be a priority for dropbox.
