Can I transfer files between Dropbox accounts?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, transferring files between Dropbox accounts is possible but requires a few steps since there is no direct feature for this task. Dropbox allows users to share files and folders with others, which can facilitate the transfer process. One common method is to share a folder from one account with another account, which grants access to the files contained within that folder. To do this, the user with the files needs to right-click the folder they want to share and select the option to share it. They can then enter the email address linked to the other Dropbox account. The recipient will receive a notification and, once they accept the invitation, they will have access to the shared folder. This allows them to make a copy of the files in their own account if desired. Another method would involve downloading the files onto a local device from the first account and then uploading them to the second account. While these methods may take extra time and effort, they are effective for transferring files between different Dropbox accounts. It is advisable to refer to the official Dropbox website for any updates or specific guidelines regarding file transfers.
