Dropbox doesn't have such a feature. You'll either need to download the files and re-upload them to the other cloud storage, or look for a third-party service that specializes in could-to-cloud data transfers.

Thanks for the confirmation, Rich. Just wanted to know, do you have any recommendations for third-party apps that specializes in could-to-cloud data transfers?

You can use Azcopy the CLI tool , it is free, efficient for large data transfers, supports various Azure storage types (blobs, files, etc.), multi-threaded for faster uploads.
Or you can use GUI alternatives sync tools like Sharegate and Gs Richcopy360 , both are professional tools with additional features like data filtering, scheduling, error handling, cloud-to-cloud transfers.
I recommend evaluating your specific needs and constraints to choose the most suitable method for transferring your 15TB data to Azure storage efficiently and securely.
