Can I Have Two Dropbox Accounts on One Computer?

As the official Dropbox website says, only Dropbox Business customers can have both a personal Dropbox account and a work Dropbox account on any computer, mobile device, and dropbox.com. They can sync two Dropbox accounts to a single device.

So, if you're a Dropbox Basic, Dropbox Plus, or Dropbox Professional customer, like the user who asked in the above case, is it possible to link 2 Dropbox accounts on one computer? There are two options to solve this problem.

Clumsy Way: Link Two Dropbox Accounts via Download & Upload

If you want to connect 2 Dropbox accounts without using a third-party tool, you can only migrate the entire data from one account to another. This way, you can access your second Dropbox account's data by logging into one of your accounts on dropbox.com. The operation steps are as follows:

Step 1: For example, if you want to transfer files from one account (X) to another account (Y). You will need to log in to account X first to manually download the file to your computer.

Step 2: Then log out of account X and log in to account Y.

Step 3: Finally, upload all the downloaded files from your computer to account Y.

In addition to the above method, there is also a way to switch between each user account to manage their files, which can be time-consuming and annoying, especially when you need to frequently migrate files between multiple Dropbox accounts. Fortunately, there is an easier way and that is to use a cloud file manager --- MultCloud to connect two Dropbox accounts.
