I cannot get both my personal and Business accounts to show up in Windows file explorer

Have just purchased two new machines and am being driven nutts by Dropbox.  I have a business and a personal account.  On my prior machines both appeared in File Explorer.  With them linked or unlink...

Hmm, are you looking at the desktop app preferences?

 

You can find them, by clicking on the Dropbox icon in your system tray, then on your initials/profile pic and then on "preferences".

    Clicking the Dropbox icon in the system tray does nothing and I understand that the windows app was withdrawn.  however, I did download what claimed t be the app and it installed but the only thing I can do is go to file explorer and open dropbox from there.  From there, I can confirm that the Personal and Business accounts ARE linked and I have tried unblinking and linking.  But, when signed into either, I an go to settings and see preferences ... but nothing that adds the second account to file explorer.

    I have installed Dropbox and checked that it is running.  It does not show in the system tray.  Also, when I go to Dropbox.com, and click on the id circle, I do not see PREFERENCES but I see Preferences if I click on SETTINGS first.  Just above Preferences, it shows that my two accounts re linked.  Please also note that I have two Dropbox entries in File Explorer on my other machine ... that makes this even more odd.
