Add the work account to the OneDrive sync app, then it will appear in File Explorer as a separate folder.

Select the OneDrive cloud icon in the Windows notification area.
Select Help and Settings > Settings.
Open the Account tab.
Select Add an account.
Sign in with the work or school account.
Finish the setup.

After setup, File Explorer should show:

OneDrive – Personal for personal files
OneDrive - CompanyName for work or school files

If OneDrive is not running, open Start, type OneDrive, and select OneDrive first.

If the work account is already signed in to OneDrive, the files should appear in File Explorer under the work folder name. In Windows, OneDrive files appear in the OneDrive folder, and with multiple accounts the work or school files appear under OneDrive - CompanyName.

Important limits:

Multiple work or school accounts are supported.
Only one personal OneDrive account can be added.
Personal and work/school OneDrive accounts cannot be merged; they stay separate, but files can be copied between them.

If the work account still does not appear, try signing in to the work account in OneDrive on the web. If that fails, contact the organization's IT helpdesk.

As per your description, after personal OneDrive shows up in my File Explorer the OneDrive for business (work/school account) doesn't automatically show in a File Explore. To add your work/school OneDrive for business account, you may click on your OneDrive cloud icon, click "Settings">click on Account tab>Select Add an account and enter your work/school email account.

Once you have added the two accounts, you’ll see your personal and Work account in File explorer, as shown below:
