Purchased upgrade on wrong account. How to transfer?
Hi. It seems I have two drop box accounts with a work email and a personal email. I accidentally purchased an upgrade on the wrong one. Work email. I really want my upgraded account to be Linked to...
- 9 months agoThanks. I ended up logging in on the upgraded account which has better support options. They will cancel the error then once I’m refunded I can go and upgrade on the correct account. It was really speedy and fast service. Very impressed.

It's not possible to move a subscription from one account to another. Your best bet would be to swap the email addresses on the accounts (using a third email as a placeholder), then using a shared folder to move files between the accounts if needed. You'll need to be able to sign in to both accounts though.
Are you not able to sign in to the old account?
