You can switch between two linked Dropbox accounts on dropbox.com, the Dropbox desktop app, and the Dropbox mobile app. You must be signed into both linked Dropbox accounts on the web session or the app you’re using to switch between your accounts.
If your accounts aren’t linked, you can still switch to a different Dropbox account on any device by signing out of one account and signing into the other.
