I believe I read there are actually two different Dropbox folders (presumably labeled appropriately) that otherwise behave like a normal personal one. That would be ideal.That's correct. The existing personal account would have its folder renamed to Dropbox (Personal) and the Business account would be in a folder called Dropbox (Team Name), where Team Name is the name you give to the Business team.
I'm in a similar situation, though I reversed the account types (Basic for personal, Plus for my business). Because I'm a solo entrepreneur, I don't need the teams function, but would like to functionally separate my personal and business activities. Since I don't qualify for the teams accounts (only 1 person), it looks like the only option is to move all my files into one Dropbox account or move to a different platform altogether for at least one of them, if I want syncing to devices.
Yes this annoys me too. It used to work, but now they want to force you into multiple paid accounts, and upgrade one to a business account which from what I understand Costa much more $$$
