I am an employee at a university where I used to be a student. I still have my student Box account, but I also have an employee Box account. My Mac desktop Box app still shows the files from my student account, but I want it to show the files from my employee account instead. Alternatively, I would like to be able to access the two accounts separately from my desktop (I do not want to commingle files). The problem is I cannot figure out how to get the Box desktop app to connect to my employee account instead of my student account. I am logged on to the employee Box account online. I have logged in and out of my online Box account multiple times, and I have deleted and re-downloaded/reinstalled the Box desktop app multiple times. No matter what I do, the desktop app stubbornly remains connected to my student account, not my employee account. Any suggestions?

Box Desktop App for Mac Connected to Wrong Account
Hi Alex,
Welcome to the Box Community!
There is currently no way to login on two Box accounts on one Box Drive client in a computer nor there is an option to switch between multiple accounts. You would need to logout and then login to Box Drive if you need to use a different Box account.
Please take a look at this article on how to logout of Box Drive from your computer and then re-login using your employee Box.
Thanks for your post and let us know how else we can help!
