Does it create a separate Dropbox folder or does it simply list all the folders from the two accounts under one, main Drobpox folder? How do I create multiple users on my PC or laptop? Unless one of your Dropbox accounts is a work account i. In other words, you cannot have two separate Dropbox accounts syncing to your computer at the same time. Without a work account, the only supported method of syncing more than one Dropbox account to your computer is to install each Dropbox account under a different computer user account, and then log in as that user when you need to access the other Dropbox account.
I just looked at the instructions for creating a new user on Mac. That is very cumbersome! It will also not allow me then to use one gmail account to attach Dropbox documents from both Dropbox accounts. I would have to log in to gmail on each different user? I have two different DB for Business accounts so how do I synch those on 1 device?

Once the Automator launches, select the creation of a new application and write a single line of code in a Run Shell Script type of automation. The process is shown in the following figures. Once the application is launched it will require the user to login and select the folders to synchronise. Attention should be paid in the final step where the user needs to specifically define the target folder for the synchronisation. If this step is skipped then the default folder will be selected and will overwrite any other existing synchronisation folder possibly from the first Dropbox account.
Activating a second Dropbox account on Windows is slightly more complex, since it needs the addition of another Windows user. Right click on the Start icon and select Computer management.
Right click on the empty space in the users console and select New User… Define the new user name and password and after that right click on the new user to change the user group that user belongs.
The settings are shown in the following figures. Next comes the definition of a new shortcut with right mouse click on a folder, in this example on the desktop.
