Dropbox for Business - Linking your personal Dropbox to Dropbox for Business

You can link your personal Dropbox to Dropbox for Business to make it easier to share files between both accounts. It doesn't actually join your accounts, but allows you to view and access files from both accounts easily and switch between them without having to sign in and out every time. Note that linking your personal Dropbox to Dropbox for Business won't give your admin visibility or control over data in your actual personal Dropbox.
