Macbook:~ macosuser$ /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox & Macbook:~ macosuser$ export HOME=/Users/macosuser/test/ Last login: Mon Nov 7 19:00:19 on ttys004 If we change that to /Users/macosuser/account for example: This is pointing by default to /Users/macosuser where macosuser is your username on the Mac. The first thing we need to do is to change the location of the HOME environment variable. Start a Terminal session allowing a command line to be typed in. Under this folder, Dropbox will automatically create a folder called Dropbox. The second account will use /Users/macosuser/emailaddress as its Dropbox folder. The first account will keep the default /Users/macosuser/Dropbox folder. I have 2 separate dropbox accounts and have created two separate Dropbox folders.
In my example, I will be showing how this works using a Mac OS X machine. I have put together the steps involved along with an automator process which you can download below.
Many people have asked if there was a way to have both their private Dropbox account and their company Dropbox account co-existing under the same Mac OS X login.
