> Two different Dropbox accounts from two different iMacs, work and home.
You had not explained this before. You might be able to 'merge both into one' How to merge multiple dropbox accounts: 1. Right-click on the Dropbox icon and choose "Preferences". 2. In the "Account" tab, choose "Unlink This Computer", and confirm the changes by pressing "Ok". 3. In the next window choose "I already have a Dropbox account" and press "Next". 4. Log In to another account and choose your Dropbox capacity. 5. In the setup type, select "Typical" and press "Install". 6. After that choose "Merge". 7. If you know how to use Dropbox, choose "Skip tour". 8. Now press "Finish".
