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.
I have a windows computer with multiple userid's ( loging's ) and each user has there own dropbox id/account --- Is anyone running dropbox on windows this way?

It is quite a common workaround, however, remember that Dropbox will ONLY sync the account you are logged in to at that time (i.e. actively open in Windows). The others wont sync until you swap account
Greeting Mark --- thanks for your reply -- you answered my question that support could not understand even with screen shots and capture session. So, in the case of the user that is NOT active, if the active user were to get a "poke" that there is a update pending, and the update is applied and the active users' session is restarted what happends to the instance of dropbox.exe in the inactive session. I have come to the conclusion that when I switch to the inactive user and dropbox.exe is not running (any more) it was because dropbox.exe was update on the then active session --- does this make any sense?
