Hey Vmanda, I definitely see where you're coming from and I'm going to note everything.
Our main goal is to listen to your needs because it allows us to fully appreciate how Dropbox fits into and influences your daily routine.
As an alternative, you can also check this Help Center article if you wish to merge the two teams together. Or, you could always call our Support and ask them to assist you while you follow the steps on your end, in order for them to guide you and check what you could do differently.
I hope this clarifies!
Hi Megan,
We have 2 completely separate Dropbox accounts. Company A & Company B. I am admin on both accounts but with different email addresses. I need to move everything from Company B into Company A Dropbox and give access to shared files to the correct users.

Dropbox StaffThank you Megan,
When I tried moving the content from Company B to Company A using a Shared Folder, I am unable to add anyone from Company A to that folder. I get a message that only the owner can add peo[le to the folder. When I look in Company B, I see that the files are owned by the Team. I'm not sure how to make myself owner of the files or at least give me the access so I can add users when I move the content to Company A

Hey Vmanda, are we referring to team folders, or simple shared folders?
Do you have the option to access the owner's account, and change the ownership and permissions?
Hi Megan,
I'm not entirely sure. They are Team folders, and the access report says they are owned by the team but I don't know what to do with that information. I can use the log in as user feature and I tried that with one of the users but I still wasn't available to add any other users to the shared folder. I've added images below to show the message I get when I try and add users to the shared folder in Company A as well as the owners of the team. I have been trying to move this data all weekend, it is incredibly frustrating.
