Box Status

2 accounts on the same Mac

Hello.  I have 2 Box accounts under 2 separate email addresses, personal and business, that lead to 2 different storages in 2 different Box.  But I use both of them on the same Macbook, everyday. I want to keep 2 icons in the left panel of my Folder on my MAcbook, but I have to use Box and Boxsync to do so because otherwise I loose the seing and the synchronising of one of the 2 accounts on my Macbook. Then everyday a reminder asks me to delete Boxsync, as it is old, but I don't want to loose the easy management of the corresponding Box account in the same time. What can I do smarter ? Regards

    Hi Nam, 

    Welcome to Box Community! 

    Please be informed that we do not recommend running Box Sync and Box Drive at the same time in a particular machine. As it may result to unknown errors, what you can do instead is to interchange your logins for your two different Box accounts. 

    Thanks for posting!

    OK, I though you would propose a solution instead of this warning. Should I understand that it is not possible to run 2 accounts on the same machine ?

    It is possible via Dropbox

     

    Thanks for your help
