Then move the files in smaller batches to that folder, let it finish moving and then repeat until you are done with all the files. When all files have moved change ownership of the shared folder to the Enterprise account. Lastly, log in to the other Business account and remove the original plan.

This is crazy talk if you have content in folders that exceeds the folder share limit (as I have).

Surprised that DB don't have a "Data transfer tool"
