If you have a Dropbox Business account, you're able to link a Business account with one personal account and then sync them both to your computer. Otherwise, it's only possible to sync one account to your computer. You can use the Dropbox website to access the other accounts.

Hey PaulFay, thanks for joining our Community.
I understand it can be difficult to use the Dropbox desktop app with multiple Dropbox accounts.
However, the only way to have two Dropbox accounts on the same computer, without having to log out and back in, is if one of your accounts is a Dropbox Business one.
Currently, one Dropbox Business and one individual (Basic, Plus or Professional) account can be linked together on the Dropbox app.
A workaround would be to install Dropbox and sign in to the second account on a different user account on the computer.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Two of the accounts are Dropbox business, and one is personal. Is there no way to link all three?
