Hi
I have a Dropbox plus account for my business. I want to backup my secretary's computer to this account as well as my own. But i dont want her to be able to access my files. How do I create a second account with a second set of login details off my one Dropbox account?
Hey @Envirocare, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community.
At the moment, I'm afraid it's not possible to back up a computer to the same Dropbox account, with different credentials.
You have an individual plan, which can only have one email and password associated with it.
As a workaround, you could login to your account from the Dropbox application on your secretary's computer and then use selective sync to remove all folders from her Dropbox folder.
They'd still be available for her to sync through the app's preferences, though.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions!
