Spouse Death - Merge Accounts?

My husband passed away a couple of months ago.  We both have our own Dropbox accounts and share some folders with each other.  Is there a way to merge our to accounts into one without going to a family plan?  Most of his account is photos that I don't want to lose and business files.  Mine is more personal business.  I'd love to merge the two into one account and one billing if possible.  Help?  I am currently signed on to my husband's Dropbox right now, so a response may go to his email. I do have access to that.  Thank you.

    Hi Dana Lee 

     

    Sorry to hear of your loss. 

     

    I'm afraid there is no such way of merging accounts - it doesnt exist at all. 

     

    All I can suggest is moving all data from one account to another (i.e. use shares to do it) and then consider deleting one of them.
