How can I pause syncing for my team account, but not the personal one?

I have added a Dropbox Teams account (Business) to the Dropbox app on my computer in addition to my personal account (Essentials). How can I temporarily disable syncing for the Teams account *without* disabling it for my personal one?

  • Hi,

    You may temporarily disable syncing for your Dropbox Teams account while keeping your personal account active. Here’s how:

    1. Open Dropbox Preferences:

      • Click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray or menu bar.
      • Click on your profile picture or initials.
      • Select Preferences.
    2. Select the Account:

      • Go to the Accounts tab.
      • Select your Teams account.
    3. Pause Syncing:

      • Click Pause syncing for your Teams account.

    This will pause syncing for your Teams account while keeping your personal account active.

    Hope this helps.
