How can I transfer files from one Dropbox account to another using a web browser?

DraskoA

Hi,

 

I would like to know if there is a way to transfer files from one dropbox to another online, without syncing it to the local PC. I don't have the space to do it locally. So is there any way it can be done online?

Files size is total of: 400 GB

 

Thanks!

Hello @DraskoA 

 

Yes you can! The easiest way to move files between accounts is through a shared folder. Just follow the below steps to do so:

 

From your first account...

1. Sign in to the account that has the files you'd like to move.
2. Create a shared folder and invite your second account.
3. Manually move files by dragging and dropping them into your newly created shared folder.
4. Sign out of this account.

From your second account...

1. Sign in to dropbox.com using the email address for your second account.
2. Click Shared in the left sidebar. 
3. Hover over the folder you just shared and click Add. 
4. Click All files in the left sidebar.
5. Locate the shared folder you just added. You can now move the files from that folder to other places in your Dropbox account.

Once the files are moved out of the shared folder, they are no longer accessible from the first account. I hope this helps!
