Thoughts on current installation and upcoming upgrades
We have a Business Standard account with Dropbox. We're about to replace our 3 aging Macs, and add one MacBook Pro, so I want to make sure our installations are correct. Here's what we have current...

Two users means two separate installations, and Dropbox folders on each user profile.
I hope this clarifies!

Dropbox StaffHey CNPHS-Chris, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community!
If you want to link your new computers to your Dropbox accounts, all you need to do is install the Dropbox desktop app on them and each of the users can sign in to their accounts.
The app will then sync the files to the new computers.
And if you need to disconnect the old computers, the users can just sign out of the Dropbox application, and they will be safely unlinked.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
If the MacBook Pro laptop has two "users", two separate log-ins, is one installation for one of the users available to the other user as well, or is it an either/or thing? Since we're talking 640 gigs out of a new 2-TB drive, I'd rather not have to install it twice (1280 gigs!). Just curious.

Thanks Megan,
As I suspected, it would be two installations. Because of the size (640g) I'll keep it to one since I have it on my other single user Macs.
