How do I transfer files from Dropbox Business to my computer and delete them from my dropbox?

[cachelpme]

I have trial Dropbox Business.  What a mistake.

Even though now nobody else is connected to this Dropbox Business account, I cannot remove my folders files photos from it.  I want to put them on my MacBook Pro desktop.  I have tried multiple times to drag them to my desktop, but they bounce back saying, team members won't have access.  There are no more team members.  

My items are taking too much space to simply downgrade to a personal account, and I don't want to use this interim service Dropbox has.  I simply do not trust it.

I set up a personal account to move folders to that account for easier access, but my computer will not allow these two folders to link.

Hi there, you can easily copy entire folder from your business to the personal account by following these steps:

• On the site, share a folder with the data on the business plan to your personal account
• Make the personal account the owner of the folder
• Remove your access to the shared folder from the business account
• Logout of the Dropbox site and login to your personal account
• Add the shared folder to your account

This will essentially, immediately and painlessly, transfer the content of an entire folder to the personal account, and making the business account have no further access to the folder.

You can continue to do this until all your folders have been transferred to the personal account.
