Switching email addresses between two accounts - any potential consequences?
Hi folks!
I'm looking to change my email address from email A to email B.
email A has a lot of extra GBs that I received years ago
I enrolled email B in Dropbox years ago, but I've never...

Yep, that's exactly right. At the end of it, this would, in turn, make email B the account with the extra GB, and email C (or A if you renamed the second account) the unused account.

Hello,
I have a personal email account with 2TB of storage and a business email account with 2GB of storage. I am looking to transfer my 2TB subscription to my business email account. I attempted to switch the email in the preferences option, but it did not allow me to make the change. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

There's no way to transfer a subscription from one account to another. The only method is to swap the email addresses, but you need a third email to act as a placeholder in order to do it.
Change the email on your business account to a third email address. This will make your business email available again for use on another account. Now change the email address on your personal account to your business email.
