"I have two different Dropbox accounts at the same time, one is a personal account and the other is a business account. How can I link these two accounts to manage them at the same time? Is there a good way to recommend?"

Common Ways to Connect Personal Dropbox to Business

Dropbox for Business allows users to link their team accounts to personal Dropbox accounts. When two accounts are linked, the user will be able to access both accounts without logging in and out of the accounts. If you're using Dropbox Standard, Advanced, or Enterprise, you can link your team account with a Dropbox Basic, Plus, Family, or Professional account.

When you link two Dropbox accounts, you can easily switch between them anywhere you use Dropbox, such as accessing the linked accounts on the Dropbox web, desktop, and mobile apps. The following are the detailed operation steps.

1. On dropbox.com

Step 1. Sign in to dropbox.com with your team or personal account credentials.

Step 2. Click on your avatar (photo or initials) in the upper right corner.

Step 3. Click "Settings".

Step 4. Click the "General" tab.

Step 5. Click "Link accounts" next to "Link your personal account" or "Link your team account".

2. On the Dropbox desktop app

Step 1. Open the Dropbox desktop preferences.

Step 2. Click the "Accounts" tab.

Step 3. Click "Add personal account" or "Add team account". If you don't see this option, your administrator may have disabled it.

3. On the Dropbox iOS app

Step 1. Open the Dropbox iOS app.

Step 2. Log in with your team account credentials.

Step 3. Click the account icon (person).

Step 4. Click "Add Personal Account".

When using the above methods to connect Dropbox business and personal, you need to pay attention to the following points.

  • Dropbox Basic, Plus, Family, and Professional accounts can't be linked to each other, and Dropbox Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise accounts can't be linked to each other.
  • If you're an administrator, you need to know ahead of time how to manage your team members' linked accounts and devices.
  • Once you've linked your accounts on dropbox.com, the Dropbox desktop app, and the Dropbox iOS app, you can only unlink them on dropbox.com. Once you link or unlink two accounts, they link or unlink anywhere you use Dropbox.
  • While linking your accounts will link them to wherever you use Dropbox, it won't let you log in to both accounts on all your devices. It will only log you in where you initiated the link. Your other device will show you the option to log in to the linked account.
  • The Dropbox Android app doesn't offer the ability to link accounts. However, after linking accounts on other devices, you can log in on the Android app and switch between linked accounts.
