Can I connect two business Dropbox accounts?
I have my own "Personal" Paid Business Dropbox account that I have synced to all my devices. This is a Personal Dropbox account but I pay the annual fee for a Business account as I enjoy the additional features and storage space.
I am currently doing some work for a client and need to have their company Business Dropbox account synced to my computer, I do not want to un-sync my paid Business Dropbox account.
I tried to use the "Connect My Personal Dropbox Account" feature, however, it tells me I can only connect if I have a personal Dropbox account.
So, what I am assuming is because I have decided as a personal user to pay for a Business account, I am now not able to access a feature that I need to be able to work effectively with my client!?
Surely there is a way I can connect to my Personal Dropbox account, despite it technically being a Business account?
Please help!

When will connecting 2 business accounts be available?
This will be a really usable feature - using web for one and desktop app for the other as a temporary work around is too rudimentary for those of us who work on multiple branches or our small businesses.

Hi, I have this configured - A personal business account - work account; Shows as the e-mail under the name of my company. Then for the client I configured personal DropBox to that e-mail address. The client is under the personal DropBox. Open your admin monitor and set Business and Personal e-mails(two tabs in monitor)
On a Mac: How to add folders at finder level when you are dealing with multiple DropBox accounts (freelancers with multiple clients):
- Log out of DropBox
- Log in to client A’s DropBox account with your unique email and password for that account ClientA@email.com
- From the web portal, find the folder you need and SHARE that folder with the DropBox account you have finder access to MyEmail@email.com
- Log out of DropBox
- Log into DropBox using MyEmail@email.com, check that email account for the link you just sent yourself from DropBox
- Click on the link in the email, add that folder to DropBox in finder
- Note: you may be able to skip some of the log in/log out. I haven't experimented yet. But sharing the folder works!
Remember to choose “Smart Sync” access “Online Only” or “Local” (right click on the folder). It may be necessary to have a business account vs a personal account in order to have enough storage space.
I'm part of a dropbox business account using email-A. I'm also part of dropbox business account using email-B. I see the folders associated with email-A in finder. However the email-B folders/files I'm only able to access via the web. How do I get the folders/files associated with email-B into finder? Within the dropbox associated with email-A there are multiple shared folders with a numerous clients. How do I get finder access to it all?
