With a new user profile you mean set up a new personal account with another email adress f.ex?

She means to create another computer user (in Windows or macOS) and install Dropbox separately under that user for the third Dropbox account. You would access your two linked accounts under one computer user, and the third under another.

Hi Rich, 
Thanks but in that case Nancy's work around does not sound like a solution at all... 😞 dissapointed...

    Emby_9 , the workaround i usually do is to use the open source client Maestral for the second business account. That way you can have two separate Dropbox'es syncing to the same computer, but with some limitations like "smart sync" not working in Maestral.
