Running Multiple Instances of megasync in Linux

I would like to know if there is a way to run multiple megasync, the cloud storage sync tool from MEGA.co.nz, because I have 2 different accounts, one personal and another for all my family.

I'm running ArchLinux in my computer.

Thank you!

A great deal is that you can make multiple Mega accounts to enjoy as many 50 GB as you can. By using different Mega accounts& you can easily manage and organize files separately.

Just change environment variable $HOME for each megasync instance. that you want to load.

I've created a simple example script to that. It loads a mega.co.nz client inside each folder inside the path that contains the script.

As Arthur said, you just need to change $HOME for each instance.

I've created a script for Ubuntu that will help you through the configuration. It may also run on Arch -I think-, just check you have megasync and zenity installed.
