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 only be able to pair two of them, so that when I need to access the third, I have to completely sign out of the others and sign in fresh for the third.

@Seng loved how much effort you put into your post, now you should try reading the one directly before it for what you should do. 😛

@Server_Align I read it before I posted. I'm on Mac, not Windows, but even if do the same thing on Mac, it only smoothes out file organization on my end on one device (and doesn't work for iOS) and doesn't touch the multiple email address problem as far as I can tell.

I have multiple businesses

Each has its own dropbox account
I should have the ability to sync multiple business accounts into the one computer

i know a lot of people who are forced to use a personal account just to be able to sync 2 accounts to one computer

Please Dropbox, this is crucial for freelancers/contractors who work with multiple businesses.

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.

Hello,

 

I currently have multiple Business Accounts and a single Personal Account. It is very inconvenient and inefficient to be unable to have multiple accounts easily accessible on my app.

 

For example, If I am running multiple businesses out of one office, and I need to upload receipts for multiple businesses, I am required to sign out and sign in... This is slowing me down and creating issues.

 

Please develop the software to support having multiple and separate subscriptions (i.e. Businesses) and a personal all on one application. The payment for subscriptions would remain separate for business accounting purposes, also files and who has access would remain different for individuals in each company. This seems like a quick and powerful move for Dropbox.

I am guessing there are a number of users looking for this capability and don't know they have to vote to get dropbox to consider it. I don't understand why this is so difficult for dropbox to offer or understand. My situation is I have a Dropbox accounts for my department at work, my personal account and a non-profit association for which I serve as a board member and as Treasurer. I really don't understand why I can't link all three accounts at a minimum on my home computer. The privacy issue seems pretty bogus as my workmates don't have access to my personal files because I currently have both the work account and personal account linked on my personal device. Or do they? and if that's the case, that's a big issue that Dropbox hasn't made it's users aware of. And echo Melissabreau above - why are you punishing customers?

*Definitely* want this feature add. 
 
Today I discovered I was unable to sign in to more than one team at once.  What to do?  There are shared folders and web-only access of course, but it's not the full power of Dropbox that way. 
 
My use case:
  • I use dropbox between my several machines to manage my business and occasional small projects + deliverables.
  • I also work with some colleagues as a design collective, for which we maintain a "teams" account (using different email address) for long term accessible shared storage, which work great.
  • but now:  a client wants to add me as team-member to their dropbox.  (this would also use a different email address…)
  • plus I’m considering setting up a “teams” account for a nonprofit I’m part of, as we need distributed storage.  (again, different email address.)
I imagine many users have similar needs, particularly those of us with multiple jobs, and changeable / fluid situations.
