Should I have a personal or Business account?

I own my business and use Dropbox Business. It's great and more secure than personal, which I have loads of data on. Is there any reason I should have both? I can't think of any. Seems like I should just migrate everything to DB Biz. Am I missing something?

    Hi texasprop, thanks for contacting us!

     

    There are four main differences between personal and Business plans:

     

    • Dropbox Business plans have more security features to protect content.
    • Business plans offer more quota than personal plans.
    • All content in a Business plan is owned by the team admin, and they can delete users entirely. Personal plans and content are owned by the user.
    • The price of a personal plan is much cheaper compared to the Business plan which requires 3 licenses at a minimum.

    You can see a list of the features offered between the plans on this page.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

      Thank you Jay. How would I go about migrating my personal account to my business account?

        They're already linked. Not sure how that helps though since they are separate. Is there not a way for you guys to do it on your end? Also, would I get a refund for the remaining portion of my plan since it doesn't expire until Feb of 2025?
