How to move a large folder from a Basic account to a Plus one?
Device Desktop Mac Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Mac OS26.2 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 239.4.8301
I need to move a large folder (250GB) from a Basic Dropbox account ...
Hey pearlphoto, welcome to our Community!
As a first step please take into account what Mark mentioned if your Basic account is over quota.
With that being said the best way to go about moving a large folder from your Dropbox Basic account to your Plus account is to use a shared folder.
You can log in to your Basic account (the one with the folder you want to move), and then use these steps to create a shared folder and invite your Plus account to it.
You can read more about this here.
Keep in mind that for folders larger than 50 GB, it might be wiser to use the Dropbox desktop or mobile app, as the web upload has a 50 GB limit per file or folder.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to let me know!
Please disregard the above message, I simply hadn't joined the shared folder. When I did that the 250GB folder was in the Plus account! All's well! Thanks again.
