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?

Thanks @Megan.

How would the email thing work? The dropbox account I want to keep is not empty (It has about 1.5TB of good stuff on it), so really I want to merge them into one.

Hi Jeminar, jeminar1, are either of these accounts syncing to your computer via the Dropbox desktop application?

    Jay. One is.... but most is kept online as I don't have that much space on my HDD. I imagine that's why most people use dropbox 🙂
