How do I join a Dropbox for Business team when I already have Dropbox running for all other clients?
Hi, I've been invited by my main client to join their Dropbox for Business team - using a work email address. I also have dropbox running already - using another email address. I use it for a range o...
Hello there Sally,
Firstly, you cannot have 2 dropbox apps in your devices ( well, there are ways but they're not an easy task to perform and they're not encouraged by DBX ) so what you need is to connect your two accounts which can be easily performed if you already have a Business account and choose the "add personal DBX" feature on your bottom left of the screen.
Secondly, your Team Admin won't have access to your personal account even if you choose to pair your personal account with your Business account. The way to do this if you fulfil the requirements (you have a Biz account and a basic/plus personal account) is best described here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/61 here : https://www.dropbox.com/help/4270 and some addiional info here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/429. If you achieve the pairing of your accounts you can then choose to manage your files as you wish ( share folders, upload etc.). If you wanna know about merging accounts you can check this article out : https://www.dropbox.com/help/9104 .
Additionally, as for your last query, you wouldn't be able to join a Business Team with a personal email if you already had joined with a business email ( so to say another account), but in that case you can connect your personal account to your business one as described above.
Finally, note that there is another whole new process to follow if you are talking about having to Business accounts (that is not supported- to be part of two Team Business accounts with the same account).
I hope this answers your questions!

As long as one account is Dropbox for Business and the other is a Plus or Basic account, you can connect the accounts and have them both syncing on computer. If they're both Dropbox for Business accounts, then you'll need to continue using the web interface for the second one. You can only have one Dropbox for Business account linked to your computer.
