Don't move the actual shared folder. Once you have the shared folder in place between the accounts and you've moved your files from Dropbox1 into it, move the content of the shared folder (not the folder itself) to another folder in Dropbox2. That will remove the files from the shared folder, and ultimately, from Dropbox1.

      Can you give us more information on why it isn't working? What error are you getting exactly, and at what stage?

       

      Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
