Moving 500GB+ files between Dropbox accounts
How do I seamlessly move 500GB+ files between 2 Dropbox accounts? FYI, I have Business account on the origin account and Enterprise on the destination account, so 500GB can fit. I tried sharing ...
Hi DropBox, I think the original question was about a single file that is larger than 500Gig; perhaps a large .psb or video render. In my case I want to archive many files including large files from one account to another account. The source folder to move might be 2TB and I need to move it out of the way. thanks Simon

Super User IIThe original question was actually referring to large folders, not single files. They mention having to share them one at a time as trying to do so with folders that are too large or have too many files was failing.
The only way to move files between accounts is by sharing a folder between them, and then moving the files into the new folder, waiting for them to sync, and then moving them out of the shared folder on the other account. If you're moving 2TB of data, each account will need to have 2TB of available space in order to share the full content.
