Transfer files from Dropbox to one Drive
How do I transfer all the files in Dropbox to one Drive.
Also, I want to know my storage amount in dropbox so that I can determine the correct amount service level for One Drive.

My advice is to do this very carefully and start out with a few unimportant files.
Being a "braces and belt" kinda person I thought having an additional online backup was a good idea so a few years ago I tried to use One Drive for that.
The result was a disaster:
One Drive stripped all my content out of Dropbox and stored it in the "clouds" and my attempts to recover them caused such a mess that I had to take the computer to a guru to sort it out. In the end he had to use my backup hard drive to recover everything. Like most Microsoft software One Drive appears to be "jealous" and does not like sharing with third party apps.
I had One drive removed from that computer and while it came installed on this machine I won't touch it with a bargepole.
Maybe your computer skills are a few levels above mine but I would definitely approach this task with extreme caution and ensure you have a physical backup of everything before you start.
