How To Switch Between Multiple Dropbox Accounts on a Single Device?

Admins can follow the below steps to seamlessly switch between multiple Dropbox accounts. Here we have two different approaches to managing multiple Dropbox accounts.

First Approach – Switching Within Linked Accounts

1. Click (Dropbox) in your taskbar (Windows).

2. Click over your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the bottom-left corner.

3. AfterAFclicking the avatar, log out of your account. Here we have shown the user logging out from their Eric account.

4. Now the sign-in Dropbox page appears once the user logs out of their account.

5. User can now choose to sign in to another Dropbox account.

6. After choosing the account to open, provide the password credentials.

7. Now you can check that the profile picture has changed to that of the new account.

Through the steps followed above, you can manage multiple Dropbox accounts on one computer.

Second Approach – Switching Accounts Within Personal Accounts

For the same account holders, you can switch accounts when we add personal Dropbox mail, for example, a mail id other than FileFuze. If the mail id is eric@filefuze.co, it is the user or admin. So, we need to logout in that case.

1. Log in to the existing Dropbox account. Click on your profile avatar.

2. Now click on “Add Personal Account”.

3. Upon adding a personal Dropbox account, now a user can switch between accounts. Here, the user has switched from Eric account to their personal account.
