What if I had some shared folders and more the 1TB data being consumed originally?
Transferring would be quite hectic with 1TB, while the access to shared folders

The only other thing to do is swap the emails on the accounts. So use a third email to take out the one on the account you didnt upgrade, then replace that on to the one you did.
