How to Transfer Files Between Two Dropbox Accounts

The fastest way to move files between two Dropbox accounts is a direct cloud-to-cloud transfer: files stream straight from one account to the other, without downloading everything to your computer and re-uploading it. Cloud Combo does this for free, for files and whole folder trees, with live progress.

Whether you are merging an old personal Dropbox into a new one or moving files out of a work account before you lose access, transferring between two Dropbox accounts by hand (download, then re-upload) is painfully slow. Cloud Combo supports connecting multiple accounts from the same provider, so both of your Dropbox accounts can sit side by side in one dashboard.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Create a free Cloud Combo account

    Sign up at cloudcombo.app — it takes under a minute and no credit card is required.

  2. 2

    Connect your first Dropbox account

    From the dashboard, click "Add Drive" and connect your first Dropbox account. You'll sign in with the provider directly via OAuth — Cloud Combo never sees your password.

  3. 3

    Connect your second Dropbox account

    Add your second Dropbox account as well. Both drives now appear side by side in your dashboard.

  4. 4

    Select the files or folders to move

    Open New Transfer, browse the source drive, and select any files or entire folders — nested folders transfer completely, keeping their structure.

  5. 5

    Pick a destination folder and confirm

    Choose where the files should land, review the total size, and start the transfer. It runs in the cloud — you can close the tab and watch live progress on the Transfer List page. It works equally well for a one-time migration or a periodic backup copy.

Good to know for this transfer

  • You can connect as many Dropbox accounts as you need — Cloud Combo keeps them clearly separated by account email.
  • Cloud Combo uses Dropbox upload sessions for large files, so there is no 150 MB single-file limit — files of any size transfer.
  • Transfers run server-side, so they continue even if you close your browser. Failed files are retried automatically and reported individually — one problematic file never stops the rest.
  • Your files are never stored by Cloud Combo: they stream directly between your old Dropbox account and the new one over encrypted connections, authorized via OAuth 2.0.
