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.

Reboot & Login as either user and observe both dropbox syncing.

* Username2 should include its domain if it is one, such as YourDomain\Username2 or AZureAD\Username2 *

If one could add new dropbox folders to the same computer profile, don't you think they would just create new dropbox instances, instead of needing to upgrade in order to get more space?
