I have my own Dropbox for my design business, but a client wants me to work on their files directly in THEIR Dropbox. I'd like to do so through my Mac's Finder, but I can't figure out how to get the client's Dropbox folder to appear in Finder in addition to my own Dropbox folder. Is it possible to have 2 (or more) Dropbox folders appear in Finder?

You can only have two Dropbox accounts appear on your computer if one of those accounts is a Business account, and you then link the accounts together. Otherwise it's not possible to sync two accounts at the same time.

I succeeded in linking - there was one final hoop to jump through involving cutting and pasting a Dropbox generated code to allow the linking of the accounts. I appreciate your help!
