Moving my files out of Dropbox Business and into my personal account
I am on a team. Our Dropbox business trial has ended, how do I get to move the files out of the expired business account into my personal account without having admin add my personal account as a team member?
I accidentally paid the upgrade for Dropbox Plus into the incorrect account and now I would like to move my folders across - I just cannot seem to get it right. please help-
Hey Natsbar, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community!
Have you tried sharing these files with your personal account?
That's basically the easiest way to 'move' files between accounts.
Otherwise, you could download them from the Business account and upload them to the personal one.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
