A user logged into the kDrive application on their computer can already access multiple kDrive accounts if they are already working with multiple kDrive accounts outside of the app, if they have been added to other kDrive accounts, etc. All of these are accessible as long as the user is logged in with the credentials corresponding to these kDrive accounts.
