Link personal account to multiple business accounts

Like the title says, I have multiple business accounts as I have two jobs, both of which use Dropbox Business. Fortunately, they both provide me with computers so that I have one business app on each...

    If you connect a personal and a work account together, you won't be able to link either of them to another one. 

     

    For this reason, you'll have to choose which ones you want to connect and which ones you want to have locally on either device.  

     

    I understand that this may not be the ideal reply, but let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!

Thanks Lusil for the super fast reply. I'm not sure I completely understand your answer. Sure, I can connect my personal account to work account A. But what happens if I then try to connect the personal account to work account B? Does it?

 

  1. Disconnect it from work account A?
  2. Refuse to connect to work account B unless I disconnect it from work account A first?
  3. Actually work and let me connect to both work account A and work account B?

I'm trying this on the web right now, but ideally, I could do the following on my desktop:

 

On work computer A (running Windows), access both my personal and work account A files.

On work computer B (running MacOS), access both my personal and work account B files.

 

I don't need to log into both work accounts on the same computer.

 

Thanks!
