... is it possible to have two personal accounts in the same machine and syncNo. You can link a personal and Business account together so they will both sync, but it's not possible to link multiple personal accounts to the same computer. The only way to sync multiple personal accounts to the same computer would be if each Dropbox account was associated with a different user account on the computer.

You can create a second business account, but you can't link it to another business account like you are with your current accounts. You can only link a single personal account with a single Business account. You're not able to link two personal accounts or two business accounts, and there's no way to link a third account of either type.

Thanks for the reply, but these would sit side by side in the desktop app?

You'd have 2 Dropbox folders on your machine and both would work like they currently do. So one would be something like "Ted Walker (Personal)" and the other in your company name.
