Multiple instances of DropBox (Windows 7)

Question

Windows

Has anyone implemented this?

There is currently one installed instance of Dropbox on the system.
There was a need to add another one (with a different login and password). But both of them need to be active: opening, synchronization, etc.

Google is hinting at the Dropboxen solution. But it only works under XP.

Under Windows 7 I tried the solution in the form:
Create a second account. install Dropbox there with a different login. then create a shortcut with

runas /user:USERNAME_SECOND C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Dropbox\bin\Dropbox.exe

For some reason it doesn't work for me. I launch the second instance from another user - but for some reason it still refers to the first one, i.e. it turns out two copies work with one login.

Interested in other ways.

Answer 1

try setting a password on a freshly created user (maybe it’s nonsense, but I heard that this is how the client of one online game was launched in several instances at a time when it was forbidden there)

Answer 2

I have created an account on several accounts.

Answer 3

Did not work out?

Answer 4

With Sandboxie, you can run two DropBoxes, or, for example, two Skypes. Just don't forget to make a separate sandbox for DropBox and disable its cleaning.
