two Dropbox folders on same computer
In reponse to the question, can I have separate Dropbox folders on the same computer (one for me and one for my husband), I was told to go to the page dropbox.com/help/61 If you are not a busines...
The user doesnt need to be logged in, just the dropbox app needs to be running on that user account.
Move the dropbox folders to an accessable area by both users.
Set Dropbox to NOT start on Login.
Create 2 On System Start task to run the dropbox app using the 2 specific user accounts.
Reboot & Login as either user and observe both dropbox syncing.

Create a Shortcut in Username1 that has the following line in it...
RUNAS /savecred /user:Username2 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe"
* Username2 should include its domain if it is one, such as YourDomain\Username2 or AZureAD\Username2 *

Super User II
Super User IIYou need to configure user accounts on your computer so you each have to log in when you start up your machine.
Once you've done that you than simply reinstall Dropbox on each user account and log them in to the account needed.

OK so I have 2 user accounts. Account A has Dropbox installed and all is fine. If I switch user (Widows 10) to the other account I just get to see the Dropbox folder for Account A. If I go to the Dropbox website I can log into Account B, but what I want to happen is that when I switch user accounts I see the Dropbox folder relevant to that account. I have Dropbox basic but believe that the above should be possible?
The Dropbox folder is (at least, should be) within your personal user folder (where you also have "(My)Documents" etc). So when you switch to account B you shouldn't see A's Dropbox folder any more (and should not be able to access unless you're admin); you'll have a different Dropbox folder within B's user folder. If you're admin, you can maybe access to other User's Dropbox folders (but dropbox won't sync those while the corresponding user is not active/logged in).
