Is adding multiple accounts of the same type (Gmail/Dropbox/Calendar) in Dash possible?

I can't find a way to add multiple Gmail or multiple Dropbox accounts in Dash. Once one account of a type is connected, the only option I see for this account family is disconnected.

Is this expected? If so, is an improvement planned?

One of the use cases helpful for me would be search across multiple accounts.

      Thanks for the update. I was attracted by the "Search all your tabs and apps" concept. But this dramatically limits the product's abilities. I will sit this one out and wait for improvements.

       

      Thanks again.

      not really a solution - i note these questions have been asked since November (?2023?). Have just signed up for Dash and have at least 4 gmail accounts to gather together (ie personal plus 3 accounts on which I work freelance).  Was hoping this might solve a couple of issues for me but .... any chance of an update to how this is going?

      Why would Dash downgrade this feature--this was one of the most important points when it was Command E and worked fine until a few weeks ago.  Not being able to add two google accounts is nuts.  That's the whole purpose of the app and should be rectified immediately.

    This is very important for me as well. The number of different Google accounts I have has gotten quite out of control and it's so difficult to find things across the different Google apps and my separate accounts. I love this solution idea, especially since I've really enjoyed Paper but have struggled with its limited file structure interface, but I really need to be able to add multiple Google accounts for this to really work.

      I'd agree this is kind of a dealbreaker for the tech. I have multiple Gmail accounts, and there is no point in using the app without the ability to add them all.

        Has anyone heard an update from the Dropbox Dash team about adding support for this function.

    I agree. Part of the reason I'm very drawn to Dash is because I have so many different Google Workspace accounts and Dropbox accounts that I need to have one unified portal for it all. Looking forward to being able to add multiple accounts. Until then Dash will be rather limited for me and hard to fully get on board with.

    Can one add a second Outlook Email account to Dash and if so, how is this done?

     

    Thanks

      Hi Chucksings,

       

      Dash doesn't currently support adding multiple accounts of the same type, but it is something that our Engineering team is looking into.

    Waiting on this feature to even use the app as otherwise it's totally nerfed. Been a year. The previous product (Command E) had that feature. What's up?
