Yes, this is a bad idea.
The problem seems to be that this particular service provider has "one person, one account" and "one computer, one account" baked deeply into their design. Which makes it difficult-to-impossible for people to use more than one account.
This approach probably simplified things when they were making it; as a startup, maybe the complexity would have been outside of the development resources if they hadn't made these simplifying assumptions of the model.
But by now these assumptions are so deeply baked into every part of the service that it'd be really hard for them to change.
This is just a guess; I'm not affiliated with Dropbox in any way, and I've never even used their service.
