If I'm not mistaken, Dropbox has had multiple account support for some time (about a year?).

That made me burst out in laughter. It has been longer than a year, and they made a huge mess of it. Essentially you can do a pseudo-merge of exactly one personal account into exactly one business account, that is then the beginning of all sorts of glitches and problems. That includes things like removing that personal user from the business account deleting all their personal content, being unable to separate the folders, logging into either account giving access to the other account, difficulty administering the accounts separately (a colleague had to call them up just to figure out how to update a credit card number and delete a user because he had both paid personal and business account psuedo-merged).

Glad to have made you laugh. I personally have never encountered any of the problems you mentioned. I used to work at a company that used Dropbox for Business and I just remember getting an email that I could connect that account with my personal one. I did connect the two and it worked fine for me. I had a simple use case so I didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
