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.

You can share individual files, it is not limited to folders. in viewing files share is one of the pop up options available if you hover over a file name. I have used web access to open personal dropbox account while having the business account installed on the desk top. Not most elegant but lets both be accessible for times that is needed.

Using Filezilla professional version and Dropbox api you can use Dropbox as an FTP. Refer below link... https://filezillapro.com/docs/v3/cloud/uploading-files-to-dropbox/ While connecting to dropbox from Filezilla you can use multiple account as you need to login like FTP and share files also. Hope that helps.

You can have multiple accounts, however, you must have a different email for each account and you will have to log into one account, then log out, then back in for another email, etc. Keep in mind, each dropbox account has its own storage as well.

No it is not possible . You can certainly hold onto multiple accounts with different mail id but not with one particular mail id
