Is it possible to see team files in dropbox folder on PC?

Hi, I have a personal (basic) Dropbox account, and am also part of a Dropbox team, via two separate accounts (separate email addresses). When I click on the Dropbox icon on my PC I see my personal files, but not the team files. Is it possible to 'add' the team files to the folder for easy access? And anyway, how do I find the team files? When I go to the website (Dropbox.com) I similarly only see the personal files.

    You need to link the two accounts together (don't worry, your account stays as yours and your files are kept separate), then both accounts will sync to your computer.

    On the website you just need to sign in with the email address and password for the team account, then you'll see the team files.

      The two accounts are already linked. 

      I did figure out that I could sign into the business account by opening an incognito window and using the business email.
