Description

Sorry, this may be more of a question than an issue. Is it possible to run multiple instances of this container and link each to different Dropbox accounts? Obviously, the instances will need to use independent volumes, at least for configuration.

I ask because the Linux desktop client does not support multiple accounts as described here:

https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installation-and-desktop-app/Linux-support-for-multiple-accounts/td-p/190123/page/4

So I was wondering whether through docker you've effectively fooled the client into thinking each instance is a unique host or whether all instances are identified as the same effective host to Dropbox.

Thanks!
