Can I log in to another account from the Dropbox app?
I have two Dropbox accounts (just individual, not team). I logged into one account with the Dropbox installer and synced some files. Now, I want to log into the other account on the Dropbox installer...

To switch between two individual Dropbox accounts on the same computer, you’ll need to sign out of the current account in the Dropbox app and then log in with your other account. Here’s how you can do it:
- Sign Out: Open the Dropbox desktop app, go to Preferences (usually found by clicking your profile icon), then navigate to the Account tab. From there, click Sign out to disconnect the current account.
- Sign In to the Other Account: After signing out, open the Dropbox installer or desktop app again, and this time log in with your other Dropbox account credentials.
Currently, Dropbox does not support two simultaneous individual accounts on one desktop app. However, if switching frequently, you could consider using one account through the desktop app and the other through Dropbox’s web interface. Alternatively, Dropbox Plus, Professional, and Business plans support a connected personal account, allowing you to link both within the same app.
Hope this helps!
