User Case: “I have 3 different Box accounts on my PC that I need to check on a regular basis. The main account is in sync but the other 2 Box accounts need to be checked on the browser. It would be better to find a way to sync multiple Box accounts on one computer at the same time.”

Box, as online cloud storage and synchronization tool, is a secure service similar to other popular cloud storage services like Google Drive and Dropbox. It is a user-friendly service with 10 GB of considerable free storage. You can use Box for Box file requests, effective collaboration, and integration with various third-party tools.

How to Sync 2 Box Accounts in a Better Way

When using Box, many users may ask how to sync multiple Box accounts or how to link multiple Box accounts on a single computer in an efficient way. The truth is that you can only use one Box account at a time to log in to the Box desktop app on your computer. Box doesn’t support merging two Box accounts directly on the computer or on the browser.

Nonetheless, it is still possible for you to sync two Box accounts by inviting one Box account as a collaborator that has access to a folder. This will allow you to use one Box account to view and access the folder from the other account without syncing them. As you can see, this solution is not really a synchronization between multiple Box accounts.

Luckily, the method given below will show you a brand-new easy way to manage multiple cloud storage accounts and sync between Box accounts seamlessly with a single click. Please keep reading to find how simple it is to achieve multiple Box accounts synchronization.
