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?

This would work, but I am trying to extract all the files from an account that has moved to basic. I can't create sharing and I can't create folders within the web interface.

I have two dropbox accounts. One has 550GB on it, but I let it lapse to basic. The other is a Pro with 3TB. I don't want the former account, but I do want the data on it. I can't export the data as .zip files because it says "too many zip files to zip", and I can't share the folders, presumably because this is some restriction set by dropbox against people with basic accounts that are too big.

 

How can I get my data back (short of paying dropbox)? All I want to do is help dropbox by deleting an obsolete account.
