Hi. I'm having this same problem. 

However, my accounts ARE linked. I have access only to my personal folder on my desktop and none of the business files. Do I have to be the account manager on the business account or how does that work?

    Hey CammryL - sorry to hear about this.

     

    Could you clarify what Dropbox plan  you are on your business account?

     

    Do you see the option to connect another account in the app's preferences under the Account tab?

      Hi Walter. 

      It appears I'm on a Business Trial Plan. 10 TB. Will that affect my ability to access my folders from my desktop?

      As I stated earlier, my accounts are already linked.

        Hi from me too, CammryL. Did you follow Walter’s suggestion to visit your desktop app preferences > Account tab? Do you see the option to log in to your second Dropbox account there?
