Dropbox engineer here. There should be a drop-down item to switch accounts: https://www.dropboxatwork.com/2012/12/easily-switch-between-...

The first time you select 'Switch Accounts' you will be able to log in your personal account. After that, you will be able to switch accounts without having to type the other username every time.



I had checked before posting and there was no such option. I did manage to make it appear in the end but it required logging out as my personal user and then logging as the team account and then logging in as personal again.

Why not just make 'Switch Account' always be present rather than having one blessed starting point account? The wording also implies this won't work if you have two team accounts.


my wording is my own; i have not checked exactly what the restrictions on this feature are.


I meant the wording on the website. If I log out, then login to the team account and then choose "Switch Accounts" the resulting page says "Sign in to your personal account". That is what implies to me that it would have issues if I had two team accounts.
