Can I share a Dropbox account between two Macs?

I would like to be able to add to a set of files on dropbox from two macs.  Do I have to buy two licenses and even if I do, how do I make sure I have one central DROPBOX?

    You can link multiple devices to your account. A Basic (i.e. free) account can have three devices linked to it. For paid accounts there is no limit. All devices linked to an account have access to the same files in the account.
