> ... individual Dropbox users are encouraged to create separate accounts ...

If only your software actually worked in that scenario. Every single piece of your software is hard wired to believe you only have exactly one account. For example the Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and iOS clients, as well as the website. To see your other account involves logouts and logging back in again having to enter the other account email and password (not saved).

> Users can quickly switch between using personal and Teams accounts on the web today

Huh, the only thing that works for me is to logout and log back in again. I have a personal paid account and a separate team account. What I would expect is how google do it - the account dropdown having your other logged in accounts available for selection.

Dropbox engineer here. There should be a drop-down item to switch accounts: https://www.dropboxatwork.com/2012/12/easily-switch-between-...

The first time you select 'Switch Accounts' you will be able to log in your personal account. After that, you will be able to switch accounts without having to type the other username every time.

I had checked before posting and there was no such option. I did manage to make it appear in the end but it required logging out as my personal user and then logging as the team account and then logging in as personal again.

Why not just make 'Switch Account' always be present rather than having one blessed starting point account? The wording also implies this won't work if you have two team accounts.

my wording is my own; i have not checked exactly what the restrictions on this feature are.

I meant the wording on the website. If I log out, then login to the team account and then choose "Switch Accounts" the resulting page says "Sign in to your personal account". That is what implies to me that it would have issues if I had two team accounts.
