As the title suggests - I have the Dropbox (for Mac) app, and have access to Company A duly set up...but now I am also working with Company B who use Dropbox, so want to add a (clearly separate!) Dropbox folder to my Finder. I've had a search but nothing immediately useful comes up - suggestions welcome!

From a quick Google, it doesn't seem like you can do this, unless you're able to "link" one account to the other, which isn't allowed between two personal accounts or two business accounts. And even then it only seems to allow quick switching rather than having both connected simultaneously, and wouldn't scale beyond two accounts if you end up with more clients.

If you're working with multiple clients, would it be feasible to instead have a single Dropbox account of your own and get each company to share relevant folders with you?

The other option people suggest is to have separate Mac accounts for the separate businesses. But that could be clunky if you switch back and forth a lot. If you're reasonably geeky, you could maybe experiment with running Dropbox in separate VMs or Docker containers for each client then mounting the relevant folder.

Just use separate Safari profiles for each company's account. Browser interface only, but it works. Or keep your app for company A, and use the browser profile for company B.

Frank's suggestion is good. You could also have two user accounts on the Mac that you switch between for working with each client, keeps things separate.

You could also look into using a third party Dropbox client . A quick google comes up with https://maestral.app/, I haven't vetted it, but its open source, has 3k stars on github and has active development, which is usually a good sign it isn't sketchy.

Personally, I'd be requesting both companies share the documents to a Dropbox account I controlled.

Thanks all, it looks like just doing it in a browser is the realistic option, I would have preferred to do it all in Finder but so be it

I gave up on Dropbox long ago but have a similar problem with Office for four different institutions. 
 

One useful tip is using private mode in Safari allows opening a separate office/secure environment without it forcing you out of all the other ones as soon as you sign in. If you’re having weird behaviour with Dropbox that might help (you could use eg Firefox for one DB and Safari for the other, to reduce risks of cross pollination!).

Safari now (at least the latest versions) offers easily switchable independent profiles that don't share cookies, extensions or any other data. I use one for banking and paypal, while keeping the normal one for common browsing and the private one for privacy. And you have the private mode as well, but you can easily make a Safari profile for just one certain website with it loading automatically.
