Moving videos & photos to OneDrive

Can I transfer videos  & photos from dropbox to onedrive?

Hi @Jardii, thanks for messaging the Community!

Currently, there isn't an official direct method to move files from Dropbox to OneDrive.

There might be some third party apps or services that can assist with this matter, or you can move the files manually from one service to another.

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

Dead easy @Jardii 

Just download them to your computer. Then upload them elsewhere. There really is no more than that.

Hi thanks Jay for your reply, Could you possibly guide me on how to move files manually out of dropbox. A friend set this up & I cant use it, its too "busy" & complicated. Thanks @Jardii

Hey @bjardii, do you have the Dropbox desktop app installed on your computer?

This app would have created a folder named "Dropbox" on your computer, and all your files should be synced in that folder.

If you'd like to move the files out of Dropbox, you'll first need to make sure they're all available offline.

Select all of them or just the ones you want to move out, right-click on them and choose "make available offline".

Once everything's synced and locally available, you can simply move them (or cut+paste) out of the Dropbox folder.

This will move them to the location you prefer, but keep in mind that it will also delete them from your Dropbox account.

I hope this helps, but if you have more questions, let me know!
