Copy entire Dropbox files from one account to another

Hi there, I'm looking to copy my entire Dropbox library from one account I own into another. I need to have a backup of these files under another account. Is there an easy way to do this?

Hey there VineyardBlue2012, thanks for using Dropbox and happy Monday!

 

Have you considered putting the content of the first account in a folder and then sharing the folder with the second account directly? 

 

Let me know if this helps!

    That might work, and then just move the items in the shared folder directly into the other account?

      Hi VineyardBlue2012, sorry to jump in here! 

       

      Once you have the content in the shared folder using account A, then you'd share everything with account B, so everything would be visible and accessible there. 

       

      If you have any questions, let us know!
