We are aware of the issue with the badge emails resending to everyone, we apologise for the inconvenience - learn more here.
Please allow pairing of more than two accounts. As a contractor, I am a member of a company's business account, a team member of another company, and have my personal account. It is frustrating to only be able to pair two of them, so that when I need to access the third, I have to completely sign out of the others and sign in fresh for the third.

You guys should really add an option for business owners to add a second business account t the dropbox app (mobile and desktop). Don't forget there are heaps of people who run more than one business and prefer to have different accounts for multiple businesses. We are currently paying $2000 per month and we just signed up for another account for another $2000 and I sadly found out that you can not add a second business account to the app? I really urge you to do something about it very quickly. I simply don't see any logic behind this that you have an option to add a personal account where you can't add another business account...
Please react quickly and make business owners happy asap, don't forget we are paying you a lot of money, thus, we want to have the proper feature that allows us to pay you even more by having another accounts running under the same app.

I understanding not having multiple personal free accounts syncing per user/computer.
But why set limits for PAID accounts. We're paying for it. why does it matter how many accounts I'm syncing.

LOL @ Slopbox man you cant even use the RUNAS.EXE in MS Windows anymore.
Dropbox actively working against their ever dwindling customer base, finding new ways to say hasta la vista.

All I can say is... I'd have three teams accounts if this feature existed.
As it is... I have none. My clients and collaborators add me as a direct share rather than team member.

This needs to get priority. It's frustrating all creative freelance contractors round the world 🙄

agreene re : "What we learned, is that many of our customers needs were served by the pairing functionality we offer today."
LOL at you using a survivor bias to validate your stance.
Perhaps you should have considered all the customers YOU LOST ALREADY rather than just sticking your head in the sand and saying everyone using it now is happy (except for those who have remained but are unhappy). IE Your surviving customers were the only ones you checked.
Let's face it Dropbox has lost the cloud battle they began strong then stumbled when MS didn't buy them out. MS OneDrive allows as many business accounts as you like paired so I guess they scooped up all your customers. Oh but don't worry I'm sure you will find something else to cut off and then once you lose those customers say that you have 100% happy customers since you just lost all the unhappy ones.
FYI to the readers: If you're on a Windows system you can already mount multiple business accounts using multiple local user accounts and the (MS) RUNAS.EXE to launch all the apps from within one local user account, this is totally safe since multiple user accounts and RUNAS.EXE are both operating system components. And Im sure Dropbox doesn't want to say they are not compatible with the windows operating system now do they?

Hi Ashley - thx for taking time to address this thread.
I'm disappointed this feature isn't on the roadmap and hope it will remain in consideration and/or be re-evaluated.
My use case: I'm a sound freelancer, so I regularly work on projects for weeks or months that require lots of shared data; these projects then wrap up and the data-shares shut down. It's fairly common that I'm added to teams in the late stages of projects that have already been running for many months or even years; some teams use Dropbox Teams, and might prefer to add their freelancers to Dropbox Teams.
Additionally, I have a use-case wherein I help a non-profit manage media. We have been considering Dropbox Teams for shared storage (much more fluid to use than Google Drive) yet would need to unlock this capability or we can't consider it.
The Issue: You can't consider if if it's not possible. To date, joining multiple Dropbox Teams has been impossible (or quite cumbersome at least!) As such: people just don't consider working this way, so it's a foregone conclusion. No product = no market.
So as a user-note to whoever is making these decisions in management: You're looking backward at what users say they need, rather than forward to what could be unlocked if the feature were available.
I gather there's something architectural about it that's difficult to implement, otherwise it would be implemented on an as-needed basis... or something. To be real, it took Google Drive years to get it dialed, but they did. I believe Dropbox is capable of doing it as well.-jeremiah

agreene can you please clarify how you learned that most were served by the pairing functionality DB offers today?
A good product usually listens to its power users and offers most users what is good for then, and often they don't realize they need it. Once you had it, you would sell more unlimed accounts.
Also, this gives many industries, especially post-covid during the working era, the idea that Dropbox is no longer a service that supports professionals. If DB wants to go in the Nextflix direction, sure, but the migration to other services will take place in mass. Once that is happening, DB will hurt. Major clients are talking about moving away from DB-based shared work. I will start to +1 this idea, as I see here that we, professionals, are no longer supported by DB (this issue and the external drive issues).
This is not ideal, and kinda sad to hear about this resolution.
