Hi Dimitrat 

I had the exact same problem some while back trying to migrate 1.7TB from OneDrive to Dropbox using my Win11 PC. The only cost affective way was to download all data (Keep On My Device) using OneDrive. 
Then Install Dropbox to its own separate folder using the advance install settings, but do not select any options like back up etc.
Once installed you will have both OneDrive and Dropbox installed on the same PC, this will allow you to drag and drop between both OneDrive & Dropbox folders. Once finished uninstall OneDrive 
1.7TB took me two days with my fibre connection.

What I will mention though is, Dropbox seems to be in transition phase ...  I have since just this week moved back to OneDrive as Dropbox seems to have lots of niggly issues which made me feel uneasy, however it does have the best sync engine. :-) 

Just be aware that's all ... all the best
