Dropbox StaffHi amacripellizzeri, thanks for messaging the Community.
If you allow the plan to upgrade to the Dropbox team, then you'll get a prorated refund for the remainder of the Essentials plan to the original payment method.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Did you start the Business account while signed in to your Essentials account (using the same email address), or did you start a separate Business account with a different email?

You would have to move it manually, either my actually moving the files from one folder to the other if you're syncing both accounts to your computer, or by using a shared folder between both accounts.
