Is there a way to have a PC connect to multiple dropbox accounts?
I have a personal dropbox account which I use to sync files across multiple PCs and that all works fine.
However, someone who wishes to share documents with me (and several others) has suggested using dropbox to share the documents. They've setup a new dropbox account for just this purpose but I can't see how I can use this without unlinking my computer form my account.
Any ideas?

Dropbox supports sharing content across multiple accounts.
On the Dropbox website, using the account you wish to share from, create a new folder (e.g. "my project")
In the top toolbar, select "Invite to folder", enter the email addresses for the recipients (make sure it's the email they already use for their Dropbox account).
Each recipient will get an email asking if they wish to accept the share. When they do, the new folder (e.g. "my project") will appear and synch in their personal account.
The recipient can reorganise as they see fit. just move the location of the folder in their account (say to move it into a "shared" folder or a "Projects for Matt" folder) - it won't affect anyone else who is sharing it (only changes to the contents of the folder will)
