# it is not possible to manage multiple Dropbox accounts from a single desktop.

Although it does all the good work of sharing databases and folders on the go, it is limited in some of the ways. For example, it is not possible to manage multiple Dropbox accounts from a single desktop. It only allows you to manage one at a time which can be limiting when you have personal files to manage outside your business files. Also, it is not possible to share a file with another person as it only allows you to share a folder. It would be better if it was possible to unshared or share a file the same way you share or unshared a folder.

It's true and should be changed

It's true you can't log into multiple accounts. My work computer cannot access my personal files. But I do have one personal folder in my work account for things I need to access often and is shared to both accounts. I also can get anything from the browser dropbox (although I prefer using the File Explorer, but at last I have access to everything). I use different browsers for each account (Chrome browser for work and IE browser for personal). As mentioned above, you can share one file. I never want to. So I had to test it out right now. ;-)

Please see the following: https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/multiple-accounts/switch-between-accounts

In short yes if you have both a business account and a personal account. No you cannot with multiple personal accounts.

There is no way that I'm aware of to manage multiple Dropbox accounts without logging in and out of each account.  It is however possible to share a file without sharing the entire folder.  You should be able to right click on the file name and options will pop up one of which is sharing the file.  Hope this helps.
