You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Please allow pairing of more than two accounts. As a contractor, I am a member of a company's business account, a team member of another company, and have my personal account. It is frustrating to on...

In today's business environment, I am currently working (2) part-time jobs, and running my own business. It would be immensely helpful if you could run multiple business accounts on the desktop app instead of signing out/signing in/re-syncing every time I want to jump from company DropBox to company DropBox.

This idea makes total sense. Even 2 business accounts shouldn't be the limit in my opinion.
Perhaps at least 3 accounts should be possible? Of course it's already possible to combine one business and one personal account on the same system but why stop there?

I just posted a question in reference to this (on 2/20/22). Generally the explorer format would be something similar to:
C:\users\(me)\Biz 1 shared dropbox\... folders and files
C:\users\(m)\Biz 2 shared dropbox\... folders and files
I purchased a second business standard license prior to identifying that it cant be done. Hoping it changes soon.
I am assuming it would be to dropbox's benefit; i.e. two business standard licenses rather than one and a personal to try to make it work.
Just thinking out loud here.
Refernce to my post: 2 Business Accounts - Only one available on local folder structure; located in Dropbox community/help from the Community/Files & Folders/Dropbox files & folders.

I have various clients each with their own Dropbox Standard Business Account. However, my personal account can only be linked to one Business account. This makes it difficult for me to manage my other clients' Dropbox accounts when I want to upload files that need to be saved to each of their accounts. You've said in the past that allowing a personal account to manage multiple Dropbox business accounts could present security issues. However, I see that those comments go back to 2018. It's now 2022, and there must be some way that you can figure out how to allow for one personal account to be able to access and manage multiple business accounts without presenting a security problem. I can only have one client's account on my desktop for now. I for one really need to have my other clients' Dropbox accounts on my desktop as well. Instead, I use the incognito windows for each client so that I don't have to continuously logout of my current personal account. As technology gets more advanced, I encourage you to find a way that we can manage multiple clients' Dropbox accounts without having to continuously login and out of other accounts. Thank you.

I have a paid personal account, and am syncing with 1 other business/team account. My issue is, i have several clients with Dropbox teams...but i cant sync or even save their business folders to my personal folder. Im not even sure i can join another team because im already on one...at least with the same email.
I know its a stretch of a request...but it would be amazing to be able to have more than 1 business account sync.
I think the only way for me to work with other than 1 team, would be to have several dropbox subscriptions under several different email accounts...and only access online.
Unless there is another workaround.
