Is adding multiple accounts of the same type (Gmail/Dropbox/Calendar) in Dash possible?

[unxrlm]

I can't find a way to add multiple Gmail or multiple Dropbox accounts in Dash. Once one account of a type is connected, the only option I see for this account family is disconnected.

Is this expected? If so, is an improvement planned?

One of the use cases helpful for me would be search across multiple accounts.

Hello @unxrlm , 

While we don’t offer the ability of adding a second Dropbox or Google account at this time, our team is working towards adding this option in the future!  
 
In the meantime if you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out and we'd be happy to assist you with them!

Regards,
Dropbox Dash Support

Thanks for the update. I was attracted by the "Search all your tabs and apps" concept. But this dramatically limits the product's abilities. I will sit this one out and wait for improvements.

Thanks again.

This is very important for me as well. The number of different Google accounts I have has gotten quite out of control and it's so difficult to find things across the different Google apps and my separate accounts. I love this solution idea, especially since I've really enjoyed Paper but have struggled with its limited file structure interface, but I really need to be able to add multiple Google accounts for this to really work.

I agree. Part of the reason I'm very drawn to Dash is because I have so many different Google Workspace accounts and Dropbox accounts that I need to have one unified portal for it all. Looking forward to being able to add multiple accounts. Until then Dash will be rather limited for me and hard to fully get on board with.

Can one add a second Outlook Email account to Dash and if so, how is this done?

Thanks

Hi @Chucksings,

Dash doesn't currently support adding multiple accounts of the same type, but it is something that our Engineering team is looking into.

Why would Dash downgrade this feature--this was one of the most important points when it was Command E and worked fine until a few weeks ago.  Not being able to add two google accounts is nuts.  That's the whole purpose of the app and should be rectified immediately.

Why did Dash get rid of this feature.  Makes 0 sense.

I agree with many of the comments below - without the ability to add all of my Gmail accounts to Dash, it is really not very useful to me; the whole point of why I would want to use it is to have one central place to search for ALL of my stuff. I really hope this feature (the ability to add multiple Google accounts to Dash) gets added ASAP, and then I'd be delighted to start using Dash. Thank you.
